I am so incredibly thankful for a little refreshment every now and then. Refreshment looks different to everyone, but I fully believe that God knows each little significant touch that will refresh each of us individually. Today those "touches" for me have been: Obedient kids, Kerinda bought me dinner, time at a coffeeshop, a great deal on something that I've been wanting for a while (Timbuk2 messenger bag on ebay for $20!), a nice phone call with my momma, surprisingly feeling caught up in school (except for reading... but I've kind of lost hope in that area. I've come to terms with that.), and a good attitude. It's just been a great day and having a good attitude and actually recognizing these little "touches" as blessings from God definitely raises the level of refreshment.
It's all about what you choose to focus on. Are your eyes open to see the blessings are are you too focused on what you lack (sleep, time, friends, money, etc)? Just look around. You can see God in it all.

"Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from him." Psalm 62:5
