Rest is important in our lives. Many times, we do not have opportunities to receive the rest that we need. Fortunately, I am at a place in my life where my life is full doing things that for me personally are important bringing lasting value, I pray, for our family. When I rest at night, I am able to sleep contently and most mornings I wake up very grateful for the blessings of life. Exercise plays a key role also in a life that is healthy. Most days, I jog three miles before breakfast which is a remarkable avenue for me because when my husband I first got married almost 37 years ago, I could not run around the house. TRUE! He motivated me to be fit. Today, we try to eat healthy and rely on a gentle way of life. It keeps us balanced. I am inspired by people who accept others of both ethnicity and age. Value should be from within a person's soul and heart. I pray for you that you will take time to be aware that the people and "things" that you surround yourself with over time make you who you are. A truly beautiful person is beautiful because they have sought to fill their heart with beautiful thoughts and inspirations. They are rare souls. I hope you are blessed to know some of those people. God bless those people in my life who have shared their beautiful lives with me.........
