Getting Rest

As I await radiation therapy in St. Louis, I am taking time to rest, really rest. Dr. Mathew asked me how much rest I was getting, as I told him about my frequent insomnia. I thought it was funny asking about "rest" when I couldn't sleep well. Dr. M. suggested a 4 pm rest - without distractions and in bed - not in the recliner in front of the TV. I have been doing better about resting and I am sleeping better, too. I have included a walk in my daily routine that had been absent for several months. My energy level is improving and I know the exercise helps me sleep better, too.
My devotions continue to speak to me.
Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke fits perfectly, and the burden I give you is light. Matthew 11:28-30
Thank you for your prayers as I continue on this healing journey.
Love to you -
Ellen
