Fuzzy Purple Slippers

step back from work why dont you * embrace the solice of rest and relaxation * feel the comfort of the couch with a book on your lap or the remote in your hands * change into something comfortable* stop thinking of the past * stop pondering the future* it is time for you* slip into the coziness of you warm fuzzy purple slippers *

manic* chaos* hectic* noisy* transition into quiet* seperated* peaceful* enjoyable


what is it that people cannot stop for one moment to enjoy the moment* is it that one does not appreciate the moment he/she has* is it that one cannot trust that the moment in itself can and will exist without contemplation or effort to some degree* then why the effort* why the restlessness*

sue plans her vacation from work for a week* but it seems like a harder task than it is worth* after all she cant leave the office without preparing for it in advance* there is the working at a greater degree to get not only this weeks work done but also the next weeks* and what if sue wants to go out of town* there is the packing* the calling* her animals* her plants* the mail* bills paid on time* security* money* sue determines is it really worth it -- ill only concern myself while i am gone*


reality is that in todays culture rest* relaxation* comfort is not priority* it is almost something that is an option instead of something we really need* we do not think ahead and consider that rest should be an intricate part of our life and our calendar*

the results of a lack of comfort and rest: burn out* anxiety attacks* depression* moral failure* giving up* etc etc etc* does not this reflect the a statistical anaysis of our society in our hussle and bussel world*




get radical* take time to put on the fuzzy purple slippers*
