Breakin’ the Rules — 24 Comments

  1. Yes it does feel good to just do what you want and take care of yourself. Although I find if I miss my devotional – my day seems empty and unconnected. Love to you

  2. Good for you! I break the rules all the time. First, since I am not able to continue on a ‘set pattern’ I just don’t worry about it. I will have all kinds of things in mind that I want and NEED to do and yet if I am not in the mood to do it I just say, “oh well, I will do it later”. Of course then I get upset because I am so far behind in what I want to do and some things I need to do like write my cards of encouragement to those on the prayer list at church! I have to postpone some things but then I do “catch up”. One of my best friends says she never makes her bed unless she is having company-she lets her bed ‘air’! After all, who sees it? I do like to have a ‘routine’ and I do feel better if I follow it but not as strick anymore-it is not worth it.
    I know you always get things done that need to be done and you accomplish so VERY much, but I bet it did feel good to just do as you pleased that one day. I recommend you do that more often!! Well, you may just keep the devotional and prayer time in your schedule. That is the one thing I do each morning-read my devotionals but admit my prayer time seems to get interrupted by my mind wandering! Aren’t we glad God understands and loves us anyway?! I am!
    Thanks, Karen, for another good one. Bllesings with love, Margaret

  3. Love this! As a self-imposed rule follower, it IS liberating to break them at times. Like you, I like order, but I am striving to let go of “rules” and just relax a bit!

    Happy Tuesday!

  4. Isn’t it funny how a day of relaxing disorder can caress you back to motivating and more productive order?

    You inspired me today Karen!
    I’m trying the relaxing disorder today. 😏
    (Kind of…But, I had to make my bed first! 🛏)😉

  5. What a lovely inspiration to always give yourself the gift of freedom to choose and appreciate both that freedom and the knowledge of what works best for each of us.

  6. That’s a daily battle. Lol. “To do, or not to, that is the question. Whether it’s Noble to suffer the slings and arr. . .”

  7. Sounds like a typical day for me. Either I will or I won’t. Sadly now that John has left this earth and gone to his heavenly home I have no one to consider but myself. Of course my little Lucy demands a certain amount of attention. I do make a list and it might take me the whole week to finish it.
    Oh yes, airing the bed is standard practice for me. Your blog has been missed by me so much. I have now signed up again. Moving takes a life of it’s own.
    But I am slowly settling in.
    Blessings to you, Karen

    • Hi Joan. I’m happy to know you have settled in and are getting my blogs regularly. It’s always good to hear from you and to read your response to the topics as they apply to your life.
