Rest

Not the same thing?

Do lazy days make you feel rested or unproductive?

Hey WP, I know their definitions differ, but I see lazy going hand in hand with unproductive.

I would not care to be classified as a lazy person, per se, but I think now I’ve reached advanced years, I should be able to loll around if I want to. Just bouts of laziness to enjoy for a while. But guilt will inevitably come knocking on the door, and it’s best not to answer to it, else the enjoyment vanishes in an instant.

So WP, when I am in lazy mode, I am really very unproductive. Nada. Nothing happening. Simple as.

You will be pleased to know when that spell is over. I’m up and about getting stuff done. And how virtuous one can feel after cleaning the bathroom, hoovering the stairs and the like, it’s quite something.

Now then rested that’s another ball-game altogether. It’s simply divine.  This almost reaches the stage of an out of body experience. And it really does not happen enough.

Patch will have a spell of faffing around during the night and with the bedroom window open as far into the winter as I can cope with…there will often be things going creepeth out there. One of the gorgeous felines from the hood having the audacity to tip toe along the fence or have a face-off with another cat and His Nibs is not best pleased, and he makes sure I know of his displeasure. So a broken sleep is the norm for us, and that’s not conducive to ever feeling rested.

But my goodness when it does show its face from time to time it’s sublime .

  1. Why, hello there, expert lounger! 😎🛋️ Laziness, when wielded properly, can be a powerful and rejuvenating tool. Just like you said, a guilt-free bout of utter chilliness can refresh the soul and allow us to appreciate the simpler things in life. No need to strive for productivity in these moments—just revel in the joy of doing absolutely nothing.

    Your unwavering stance against the guilt-knocking, joy-sucking scourge of our fast-paced society is commendable. So let’s say it loud and proud: Laziness rules!
