Balancing Life

I was heavy hearted yesterday and all tired up. I woke up early and did my daily routine. I dropped AJ to school, opened the shop with Isay and started working. Suddenly I felt very weak. My lungs were very heavy and felt it was going to collapse. I would like to work but I was feeling very uneasy. I decided to go back home and have a good sleep. But it's very early in the morning, how could I sleep? Ahhhhh!!!! I have some 5mg valiums that were given to me by my friend doctors. After calling everybody, cancelling appointments and meetings, I took the medicine and doze off to sleep...deep good sleep. I was awakened by the ringing of the phone. A friend heard I was sick and was checking. How very sweet! Sweet but he disturbed my sleep hahahaha! In the afternoon, AJ came, he showed me his homework and we both worked on it. Then I lulled to sleep again. Then came 5:45pm, Isay came with Barry, April and Joan their cousin. We chatted a little then when they left, I went back to sleep. Up again for dinner then back to sleep. Woke up 6 in the morning, still feeling sleepy but refreshed somehow.

What did I learn from this? Work is important but health is more important. I have been working even the weekends for this company but I am not sure, probably in a blink of an eye, I could lose it. And if I lose it, I won't be healthy enough to build up another one again. I have to look after myself first. Enjoy the company of my family, enjoy sleep. I will never pass this life again and I know when I come to meet with my creator, He will make me accountable for all the gifts and blessings I did not make use of. Having time to rest is a blessing, having a family to love is a gift, ENJOY them.
