Dog Tired?

Tiredness from hard work is different from tiredness from working hard!
Hard physical work takes out the physical energy and burns up the calories and builds up muscles. This is good for those who work in the office who needed exercise. It makes one ache with tiredness. It will soon go away. Working hard is different! It takes the physical, mental and emotional energy out of you. It is tiring in a different way. It makes one feel dog-tired! It will not go away unless one learn to rest.

Tiredness is good for us. It will test a person's resolve and ability. It enables a person to learn about oneself and enables a person to improve.

Hard work and working hard does not kill us. It is the inability to handle stress and a weak heart due to lack of exercise or bad diet that kills. Knowing how to de-stress and finding energy is the way to overcome demanding situations. Things we can change and manage we do. Things beyond our ability or control we just let go. Admit our limitations and find alternate solutions. Circumstances beyond our control such as natural phenomenon, we simply accept and move on.

Such was my month! Challenging and satisfying after everything is done and completed. It helps to be able to rely on a very close personal friend. Thank you Jesus! Thank you for being there for me.
