REST and be refreshed...

After a long day of partying!

Fatigue is the best pillow.  ~Benjamin Franklin

Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him. ~Psalm 62:5
The pool's loud splashes as the swimmers practice can't even wake him up.

The time to relax is when you don't have time for it. ~Sidney J. Harris
Sleep: If I can go without it, I would.  But I need it so I try not to fight it.  I would lose anyway.  Both body & mind require it to function adequately.  I know--I always pay for it the next day if I don't.  So rest and be refreshed.

Sleeping is one of my favorite yet deprived activity. So taking them all these years made me feel I've done some "sleeping" =.) These pics remind me to rest. So last night, I slept forever...

Thanks for visiting my blogs. I really appreciate your comments, as well. I'm mildly suffering from allergies and it's making me more tired (and sleepy =.)

HUGS TO ALL!

I'd love to see what Cece's creation.
