So, I've been going from 8 am this morning till now (about 6 pm). I got back from Greenville last night about 10 pm, and I'm exhausted. BUT I feel guilty because I'm not making myself go to the YMCA tonight. Isaac's out on his jog (yay sweetie!). WHY can't I just let myself have a day off and not feel guilty and beat myself up about it? I'm tired, I might be getting a cold, and I just want to stay home drink my cup of hot tea and read my book. That seems pretty okay to me rationally. I just have to talk back to the inner monologue inside me that says, "Hey! You're lazy. Why aren't you going to the gym? You're not tired..." But I am... so that's what I'm doing. Gonna sit on this couch and drink my tea and read. So there!
Thanks for letting me work that out. I have a lot to learn about extending grace to myself, which in turn makes it easier for me to extend grace to others. Please pray for me. (I know, I'm asking for at least the millionth time!) Love you guys!

LOVE YOU! Of course it's fine if you don't go to the gym. You are discipline about going - you will go tomorrow. Sounds like you need rest more than exercise. And just to make you feel better, I'm going to sit on my couch and eat chocolate chip cookies. Because I'm sacrificial that way.
