Rest | The Real Reality Show Blog

Hello strangers. I have missed you all terribly. I feel like I’ve been on a sabbatical since last weekend, except even on sabbaticals, one is allowed to connect with people. I suppose I feel more like I’ve been a retreat, a silent retreat, since last weekend.

Let me catch you up on my lost week. In 1945, Billy Wilder directed The Lost Weekend. He should have waited 80 years. He’d have had five extra days to explore.

On Thursdays, I re-work some sort of story off that Wednesday’s Uplift. This Wednesday that was A Time to Heal, probable one of the best Uplift posts we’ve done in some time. Perhaps that Diem wrote most of it had something to do with that. Anyway, go read it. I don’t have the energy to visit it here.

Since the beginning of this week, I’ve not had the energy, particularly mental energy, to post to social media – a shame because almost 80% of ROAMcare’s visitor engagement come from social posts, and also because nearly all of my author site engagement comes from social, and especially this week because Monday was launch day.

Since the beginning we of this week I have been on a rollercoaster with body temperature, chills, dizziness, and the Casios so when I least expect bout of nausea. But of all the times I’ve missed, it’s been connecting with you.

I’m happy that I feel strong enough now to typed out these few words. I don’t know how that will last. Will see if I can get back to my regular Monday thing on Monday. Please read A Time to Heal. It’s really good. And if you’re curious about what writing projects I’ve ignore this week, check out Michael Ross Media. I’d tell you more but now I need a nap.

It’s time for another peek at what’s going on at ROAMcare this week. In yesterday’s Uplift blog we talked about the 4 kinds of rest we need for happier days as well as peaceful nights.

Get Your Rest

“I feel like I sleep walked through the day. Being a couch potato isn’t so bad.” Diem didn’t put a question mark at the end of that but Michael, a part-time potato himself, treated it as if she had, and responded, “No, being a couch potato is good way to recharge.” Truthfully, we aren’t sure that it is an ideal recharging method. We do know, however, any down time renews energy needed for all the up times.

Rest is a state most people find hard to come by. No matter how many breaks throughout the day or how uninterrupted a night’s sleep might be, so often it never seems to be enough to feel truly well rested.

We can most often combine physical, mental, emotional, and sensory needed rests in a single quality rest target. Trying to separate the four is like trying to unbraid a rope. You end up with 4 strings but together they are stronger than any of the four alone. What affects one, affects all. Both ways
