R...Is For Rest

Rest...as in I am going to have a rest day, sort of.  Today I will take it easy and try to enjoy my life.  Sometimes I get too busy and then start to feel anxious.  Not today.  I will spend some quality time with my hubby G, do a little running, and then have a nice relaxing evening.

How about you, do you need a rest today? If so, what are some of the things you do on your day of rest? 

I believe in the sun even when it is not shining. I believe in love even when I feel it not. I believe in God even when He is silent. *Written on a wall in a concentration camp*

Radical Dude

In the urban dictionary Radical is defined as...adj.- a description of an action or thing which is especially impressive.

It is also defined as...A word used by people over the age of 30 in an attempt to sound cool, usually resulting in the opposite.

Okay I have to admit to having said this very phrase many times in my youth.  I will also admit that I will occasionally use it now at 39 just to embarrass my children, or make them smile at an especially unhappy time.

And there you have my R words...Reptiles, Ragweed and Radical dude!

I hope your day is a radical one.  May God radically bless you today and may He give you joy so abundantly you are forced to give some away.

Now go over to radical Arlee's @tossing it out and have a look see at some other radical blogs. (Sorry, but I just love to say that word, Radical Dude)
