Thought

 Learning to rest. I’m learning what it is to be quiet. I’m learning to be brutally honest. I no longer have the drive to lie. Hide the undeniable truth. And it’s exhausting and cathartic to lay my cards on the table. Honesty is freeing, but tiring. Set yourselves free.

    Same, my friend. Same. I'm learning to be brutally honest with myself lately. Working on my imperfections I never wanted to admit were there.

    Learning to rest is exhausting. I don't know how you do it. I have gone to a yoga class where you learn to sleep, of course, I was afraid I would fart so..you know, I didn't sleep a wink.

    Dearest Regine,
    Yours was not a pure lie but concealing the truth of your health struggles. Just as Francis Bacon used to say: TRUTH IS THE DAUGHTER OF TIME, NOT OF AUTHORITY.
    Hugs,

    I'm a procrastinator so resting comes naturally and then I feel guilty. Hope you can truly rest. Thinking of you. Hugs.

    Being brutally honest is something that most people don't like but it is the best way to be. If someone doesn't like hearing the truth, that is their problem. Hope you are having a nice day.

    You are so right about setting us free -- but it can be terribly difficult at times.
