One day of rest

       For lack of knowing what to do, we do what we know. Now that expression has been attributed to many, and I still use it today in 2013.

            In my case there was a military idea called "Sunday hours". It was a time to take our pack off, and worship if we wanted to. It also meant stand down time, like no artillery going boom and disturbing others during their "own time". Heck even at the Base level in peacetime, one even flew a larger American Flag during Sunday hours. We even had a ceremony for it.

            Now that did not mean lowering security, like for our opponents to exploit.  Anybody can figure that out.

            I even had a coach, who had earlier coached Swedish Olympic teams, who said we must have one or two days off a week just to rest and recover. Now this was a sports idea, not some religious or military idea. And at the time I was big into international sports competition, which is tough. And I followed his advice, kinda. In other words, I gave my body and mind some time to recover.

            So if times get hard, consider giving your group time to recharge its batteries, so to speak. And if times don't get hard, well, it is still a good idea for one to consider where they live.
