Thinking again about the concept of pondering, I believe that too many times we think we don’t have time to spend on activities like this due to our busy schedules. Maybe that’s why we take vacations (or should, at least). But should we really wait for events like this, as sometimes holidays are packed full of things to do and see. I believe rest is a part of how we find time to ponder, to think over things, and plan our future. We may feel like we’re so busy we don’t have time to rest – get enough sleep, take breaks, etc. But as we deliberately find time to rest, we’ll also find time to ponder – which will help us grow and develop because our actions are thoughtful.
