Nothing Ventured, Plenty Gained

As much as it goes against every instinct in my body, I must admit that an occasional day of being absolutely lazy and unproductive is good for the soul. Between busy-stressy work, busy-project-laden socializing, and gearing up for a busy-wedding-planning summer, every once in a while I wind up feeling like I've forgotten how to breathe, or blink, or be aware of the world outside my skin.

The past couple of days, while a lot of fun, have been rather full of socializing. And while I'm by nature a social butterfly in spite of my shyness, even I have my limits. I filled up on sun and conversation and contact, and wound up spending today curled up inside processing and resting and getting ready to face the real world again.

I think that admitting that I need this is going to do more for keeping me sane and healthy than any amount of vitamin pills or workout plans or iron supplements ever could....
