Everyone should take a day of rest.  I don’t care what religion or not that you are.  There is something about taking a day off, brewing up some coffee, grabbing your favorite book, or if religiously inclined, your favorite verses or Torah portions, and settling in.

A day of rest is reflection and meditation.  A day of rewarding yourself for the week and also for repairing the damage of the week.  It is a day of gentle recharge.

Technically, in a day of rest I shouldn’t be writing a post. That implies work and effort and an appeasement to the outside world.  I get that.  I am a bit of a rule breaker.  As a writer, many times I choose that inspiration over required rest, lest I forget it (or lose my enthusiasm for it).

However, to appease my guilt, I will end this post now and get back to rest, reflection, reading, and learning.
