You are most certainly not alone and I have the tired legs to prove it. What a lovely picture and an example to us all.

I saw that painting too and loved it. I think the palette the artist has used makes it particularly restful. My mother used to sit down after lunch every day for an hour and read. I sometimes manage it!

Love the picture and couldn't agree more about the importance of sitting down and taking a little time off when things are busy. But sometimes it's so hard to do!

So true. My only time to sit down is when Ginger takes a nap and then I seem to run around like a mad thing getting all the chores done while there is an opportunity to do them efficiently.

Don't save pictures to remind yourself, that's classic displacement activity! You need to actually do something (i.e. a change of behaviour) or to become more relaxed about not relaxing.

Reading is like exercise for the mind. It centers and relaxes us which makes it so very important to do no matter how busy we are. We did it as kids so easily, without any guilt or feelings we 'should' be doing something else. Good picture and good message. Thank you.

Love the picture! Thank you very much for providing the link to the artist. He was unfamiliar to me and now I know something I didn't before.
