Work hard, Rest hard.

Last Thursday I delivered my last CSA box of the year (two week break, what up) and I obviously had to snap a picture of the moment. And now, I’m in the midsts of my second full day off in about a month and it is VERY nice. I’m also VERY antsy. After going-going-going, working that three gig grind and honestly really enjoying myself (work is dope when you enjoy it) I always find it tricky to transition into a period of rest.

I’ve gotten much better about taking time to recharge but there’s often still a little voice in the back of my mind that is telling me that if I’m not productive or working towards something I’m lazy or useless (hey Capitalism, I’m looking at you). But this year (and so many amazing people) have helped me see that sometimes being ‘unproductive’ and resting is just as important if not more important than constantly working. Because you can’t pour from an empty cup, y’all.

So this is just a reminder that it is OK TO REST. You deserve and need it!

Ok, now I’m going to go binge Making It on Hulu because it makes my heart happy and I can watch Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman make craft puns all day long.
