Agitation

It's been a strange week.  My sleep got messed up with an out of town trip and then New Year's Eve.  I was completely exhausted after working only two days, having been off for a week and a half. I had some allergic reactions to food on Friday that left me feeling odd.  By Saturday I was completely agitated and antsy.

I don't like feeling that way and it takes a lot to get myself back into a somewhat relaxed state.  It seemed that nothing I did or avoided doing gave me any relief.  Late in the day, I looked at my wall calendar and noticed the verse for January:

Psalm 116:7 Let my SOUL be at rest again, for The Lord has been good to me. (NLT)

Hmmm.  I contemplated that for a few minutes.  I guess it was my soul that was agitated and not just my body.  I felt myself begin to relax.  I sat down with a cross stitch project and stopped thinking about not feeling right.  By the end of the day, my agitation was gone.  Sometimes a simple verse is all you need.
