It’s okay to have the chicken strips.

I wanted some chicken strips.

I told myself I would get some act right and start going to bed at a ‘decent’ hour. For the last week or so, I have been deliciously staying up ALL night to binge watch Suits, American Greed, Mega Machines and whatever other shows that suited my fancy.

Today, wombie suggested me getting some sleep act right and get my sleep back turned around on a more normal schedule. Since I am not working, not sure what the ‘normal’ schedule is buying me.

I thought of what she said. It sounded reasonable. I packed things in. I turned down the lights. I situated the covers.

Then, chicken strips started whispering, from the kitchen. I told chicken strips to shut it as I need to get some shut eye so I could get my sleep patterns back ‘normal’.

Wouldja believe God wandered by and asked if I wanted to join Him for some chicken snacks….hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

I decided on the chicken strips. I think I may add yet ANOTHER all night binge watching! Yaya!!!

It has been really hard learning HOW to rest. I have to keep telling myself my worth is NOT in what I do. I am worthwhile simply because I breathe.

Remember, beloveds, you are valuable simply because you breathe. Don’t feel as though you HAVE to be doing something 24/7. Make sure you get some time to chill and be as lazy as you can possibly be. When you are ready, then get up and keep being about being about it.

We all need to treat ourselves better than we have been. We work too many hours. We exercise too little. We comfort eat too much. We don’t eat enough healthy foods. I’m doing my best to get some act right, whilst also being able to rest and have chicken strips every now and again.

Moral of the story: Don’t be afraid of indulging yourself, from time to time.

I hope you are enjoying your day. If not, get to enjoying it. This is the day that was made for you to rejoice and be glad in.
