I can guarantee you that you are not losing a soul. We're all reading your words, and digesting them. I am so guilty myself of overdoing, as Evie has said. Then, to add to it, I then beat MYSELF up for not being able to complete the bazillion goals or task I put before myself. Or volunteer to do.

So, I think the downtime is essential and very necessary. Even for people who don't think they need it! Mediation, prayer, just sitting quietly might be all one needs, but I have found by doing so, I am refreshed and more focused on the task at hand.

I personally like the follwing things for my downtime:

1. working jigsaw puzzles
2. Classical music
3. Prayer of course, or just reading scriptures
4. Reading something motivational

These are just a few. I love what you are giving us all to ponder Eagle, and I do love reading your book along with this. It makes it twice as enjoyable.

Meredith...the piece above is outstanding!
