"Taking a nap is like taking a little Sabbath."
Ever felt like you're the glue holding everything together while chaos swirls around you? In this episode of the Recovery Crone Podcast, Fr Tom Weston offers a humorous yet poignant take on the Al-Anon journey. Recorded back in 1996, this classic workshop session is a treasure trove of wisdom, especially for those who find themselves surrounded by 'crazy people'—whether that's family, friends, or the general hustle and bustle of life.
Fr Tom tackles the concept of the Sabbath with a refreshing twist, urging us Type A personalities to embrace the idea of rest. He shares how taking a break isn't just a religious ritual but a necessary pause for our mental and spiritual health. Through witty anecdotes and thought-provoking reflections, he explores how different cultures observe the Sabbath and why it's crucial to find your own way to unplug. But it's not all about resting on your laurels.
Fr Tom also dives into how recovery is like nurturing a mustard seed or yeast—small beginnings that can lead to significant transformations. He encourages listeners to reflect on the people who have been 'mustard seed and yeast' in their lives, those who've quietly supported them without expecting recognition. Whether you're knee-deep in recovery or just looking for some sage advice on balancing life's demands, this episode offers both laughter and insight. So why not take a breather and tune in?
You might just find the inspiration you need to embrace your own Sabbath day.
