Somehow, when we have overcome an obstacle or worked through a difficult problem, it feels as if we should arrive at the “land of milk and honey,” a place of rest and ease. But there will always be other obstacles, other mountains to climb, other problems that press forward.
How do you find ways to rest and renew yourself, even in the midst of the journey?
At various times in my life, that place for me has been exercise and/or reading. These days it is journaling, meditation and being playful with our companion animals.
I seek retreat, either at my farm or in a book or television program. As a person with ADD, I need retreat so that I don’t feel overwhelmed by the stimuli in life.
