STILLNESS AND GRATITUDE

Take time to appreciate your efforts,

Be still and allow great providence take care of the rest,

You have done the work, you have done it all, all year round,

A week to be still and be in a gratitude mode won't hurt,

In fact, taking time off for gratitude and stillness will reward you greatly,

I have done a lot by my own standards and the goals I set a year back,

I came to a point where my own efforts frustrated me,

So this past weekend, I switched off, booked a guest house, went away to a new location, and remembered what it's like to breathe,

The stillness and gratitude mode is extended for the whole week, got to say there ain't much at stake,

Necessary rest, reflections, and simply time off to just live,
