Rest is a necessity if we don't want to harm our human body.
Hi steemians, it has been a long time. I'm glad to come back on board after weeks of unexpected break. Sickness, stress and emotional trauma swept me off my feet.
My real problem started when I refused to take a break despite the fact that I knew I needed rest. I kept on forcing myself to do things I wasn't strong to do until I broke down ..... I suffered from headaches, back pain, ulcer and a lot more....
Having been sick for quite a while, I was supposed to take a rest, but I continued working....and the reason for doing that is simple........working for daily bread.
If you can't earn money while you sleep, you are not yet financially free.
Though my body needed rest, my finances said "no". In the midst of all these adversaries, a new thought gripped my mind..... I must set up structures to work for me while I sleep if I don't want to continue being a slave to money.... Of course, I don't.
Back to the topic. After all said and done, I finally gave myself a break. It was a time-out for quality rest. I slept more and tried not to engage myself in any form of mental or physical stress. It paid off, my healing process improved and I regained my sanity.
More than the drugs, rest worked better.
Now the big question is;
When Rest became Inevitable, how was I able to pay my bills without begging or borrowing?
Answer: Steemit. I was able to pay my medical bills and provide for my daily up keeping through the money I made from blogging here.
You may not know it, steemit is affecting the lives of so many people in ways you never imagined.
"Steem" is the only world currency that represent a beacon of hope to the hopeless.
I hereby use this opportunity to appreciate the steemit CEO, the devs, community builders, content creators, investors and all those who are have kept the candle burning until today.
I'm forever grateful to @infovore, @surpassinggoogle, @gavvet, @immarojas, @lexikon082, @papa-pepper, @firepower, @majes, @neoxian, @demotruk @acidyo, @nanzo-scoop, @trafalgar, @mammasitta, @teamsteem and all those who gave me a landing space here.
My special thanks go to @donkeypong, @stellabelle, @dragonslayer109, @hanshotfirst, @thecryptofiend for helping me enjoy my activities here and finding time to answer my numerous questions.
Thank you @plojslydia.
To my dear friends @gloglo, @maryfavour, @ehiboss, @fisteganos, @eurogee, @gbenga, @maxdevalue, @olowoleolaide (my yeye husband that couldn't call me) the entire Nigerian community, my followers, those who took time to send goodwill messages ( I'm sorry if I couldn't reply yours, I had a lot) and phone calls, I say a big Thank You to all of you.
It's a pleasure to announce to you that your prayers and contributions to help Anayo Isaac wasn't in vain. The surgery as I heard from his brother, was successful. As at the time of post payout, I calculated the post reward & your donations, then sent him the naira equivalent which is 48,000 naira.
Food For Thought
Most times, people know what they need to make their lives more comfortable, but they are handicapped by prevailing circumstances.
Who are you to humanity?
Are you the person prosterity will immortalize and bless?
Are you the type whose name will be lost forever?
Or will your memory be the one that attracts curses?
That insignificant kindness could be significant enough to save a life. Always do the little you can.
Thanks for Reading

I'm glad to hear that Isaac is doing well as the surgery went successfully, happy to see myself and other friends being able to help a life especially in such critical case of young Isaac Anayo.
With love we can heal the world.
Thanks bro.
The best thing is written. But this is the best surpassinggoogle. The rest do not have any value. Because they do not want to help others.
I have no idea of what you mean.
Great post @ogoowinner. Good to have you back. True that we are usually forced on our feet by the difficulties that plague us. Good thing is investment here (Through your Steem Power) could be one of those ways one won't be slave to money in the future. I believe steem is just evolving. The use cases would make it blow. May our hustles pay at the end.
Amen to that prayer for our hustle to pay. Thanks for reading and commenting @dorth.
Rest as everyone does
Rest is BEST
Yeah! Thanks for your comment here.
Yeah! Thank you for reading.

First I wanna say welcome back after your illness. We must learn when to draw the line so that we don't break down, I guess you must have learnt that the hard way. LOL.
Yes steemit is a great community and I'm proud to be a part of it, though I'm new here but I'm enjoying my Steemit ride.
Thank you.
I'm glad I'm meeting you strong and I'm sure you won't have any need to leave us against against your will. Rest when you want and may the Steem be with you. 😁
Lol! Amen. Thank you.
Rest??? What's that... I'm 72, I'll rest when I'm dead!
Lol! We all need to rest once in awhile.
Well, like I said- I'm 72, I won't have long to wait!
Hi @ogoowinner i am glad to learn that here on steemit there are people who care for one another,indeed we are a family who belong together as one since we are connected under one umbrella called Steemit and as a result we are brothers and sisters of one father called Steemit,as for me i am glad you are now back on the block and you are ready to steem again despite of what you encounter perhaps i am sorry for your encounters,lastly i do wish you a nice stay on Steemit and i will be waiting for your posts here on this beautiful blockchain,thank you for your post and keep on steeming.

I am happy to know you have taken time out of the stress pit world to share with us! Life is a seemly never ending circle of chaos. Not all bad but even having fun is work :) We just heard from my husbands doctor today that he has to take life easier... When our work requires travel and lots of stress Ahhh... I pray for you and your family Sincerely @Jamila-ym
Thank you very much @jamila-ym.
