Filling the Well

Sunday. The day for filling the well back up. We’re halfway through July, halfway through summer, and this is a good moment to check whether you’ve actually been resting or just being busy in a warmer setting.

Summer has a funny way of getting full. The trips, the gatherings, the events, the sense that you should be making the most of every sunny day. Before you know it, the season that was supposed to be restful is its own kind of exhausting. The calendar fills up with good things until the good things start to feel like obligations.

So today, ask the honest question: what actually fills your well? Not what looks like summer fun on the outside. What genuinely restores you? Then make sure some of that is on the menu — today, and in the weeks of summer still ahead.

Make sure summer is actually filling your well, not just filling your calendar.

What’s one genuinely restful thing you can do today that fills your well rather than drains it?
