Rejuvenating!

 

We live in a busy, busy world where we are always on the go. We wear many hats in a day and execute many responsibilities as we go through our day.  One of the things that we often fail to do is to give are minds, bodies and spirit a chance to rejuvenate.

My favorite analogy of taking time to rejuvinate is the story of two lumber jacks. It goes like this:

Two lumber jacks went to the foreman to apply for a lumber jack job. The foreman said, “I am sorry men, I only have one lumber jack postion open. To make it fair, here is what I will do. I will give you each a saw and an equal space in the forest. The man who can cut down the most trees in 8 hours will get the job”. Both men agreed to the challange. They both took their saws and went to work. Both men worked very hard. The one lumber jack worked very hard and never took a break, he just kept sawing and sawing, timbering tree after tree. The other lumber jack worked equally as hard, however he took a ten minute break every hour. Who do you think won? The lumber jack who took a break every hour won! Why? Because everytime he took a break, he spent that time sharpening his saw.

For the next five days I will be in a period of rejuvination. I will be sharpening my saw. I will be visting with family, taking a couple of day trips and a doing lot of relaxing. Part of my rejuvination will keep me away from the computer, in fact I don’t intend to be on the computer for the next 5 days.  So, if you are wondering if I fell off the face the earth, no, just fell off of cyberspace for a few days. I will be back on Tuesday, June 19th. Until then may everyone be emersed in peace and love.
