Reflecting on the last couple of days, on my good fortune and relative state,

State of mind has been stretched of late, work and kids and life matters all,

Tired of the pace, see it on my face, nary a trace of much reserve,

After a big push of work at month end, last car in the lot to depart, sun sinking low,

Slow release of emotion, anticipation of rest, recovery,

In the midst now, intent on focusing on the rest, roll over again and again, read and wander, no wonder it feels so good after the stretch of the last thirty days,

Now a few days to rest, hunkered down in the nest, watch and read and do and sleep, repeat, repeat, rest is best,

Rest is GOOD.
