Lazy Days

Dear Friends,

I am having a nice time these days. I feel pretty calm and happy. And it feels so good to soak it up!

I am sort of behind on many plans that I am excited about. But it is all fine, because I treasure the days when I can relax. I have learned that it is worthwhile to slow down and enjoy easy days, instead of rushing to be as productive as possible when my regulation is good. There is a real pressure to do as much as I can when my body allows it. This was a strong driver of my earlier work, when I was newly fluent and eager to make up for lost time. And I did achieve a lot. I don’t regret it.

But now I see that I am able to rest more without feeling like I am wasting time. I value my downtime. I actually love just lazing.

And that makes my rest more truly restful. I relax and blissfully check out. It is so wonderful.

I have a lot of ambition. But I am learning to be more balanced about it.

This is advice to new spellers: you will feel so pulled to rush into your new life with communication. And it is so exciting! Just know that your rest is so important. And that your need for rest doesn’t make you less deserving.

Your Friend,

Danny
