Sabbath

I'm supposed to be taking a Sabbath day today from work.  So, how a nursing mother does this I don't know, but I'm going to try.  I believe I am violating my Sabbath by even being on my computer, but it was my day to blog today and I didn't find someone else to fill in for me.

So rather than coming up with something to blog about I want to ask you something.  What gets in the way of your Sabbath time?  What excuses do you find to not rest?  What can you do to find rest today?

A few weeks ago, I wrote this post about the "Tired Thirties" and gave a few reasons why us thirty-somethings can get overwhelmed with life. Today, the long-awaited suggestions for surviving....
