Put your feet up and relax!

It's a lovely day but my throat is sore and my glands are swollen so I feel a bit iffy. I  have lots to do in the garden but have a busy day tomorrow and wonder if I should just rest and get better.  The trouble is I feel a lot of guilt because I am not working if I don't have something to show for the day.  I know it is  good to do nothing but it is also a very difficult thing. 

We have been brought up with the 'work ethic' and 'the devil makes work for idle hands' etc.  I don't even really feel well enough to write this blog but haven't done it for a couple of days so feel guilty about that!
And I only have one follower (thanks Birdie) so who on earth will know?

I must be going mad, after all, this is like talking to yourself.  Oh well, I am going to make a cappucino and put my feet up (then I will make myself a birthday cake to celebrate tomorrow).

    Blogging should never be an obligation but it is a great outlet. I try to post everyday. I am feeling sick this morning too. Right now I am in bed with my laptop and will be going back to sleep soon. Give yourself permission to do the same. Be good to yourself! ;-)

    Hi Birdie, I am feeling fine today, in fact I have just hot home from volunteering in a local churchyard so feel worn out but worthwhile.
    Hope you are feeling better now.
