Withdrawn

Well being
None can be on all the time. It is a simple fact of life .Rest and relaxation are necessary to maintain a state of well-being.. Both physical and emotional, and our cognizance of this need empowers us to be more involved in our own self-care.

When we feel that we are dragging, interpret it in a different way. The exhaustion is a sign; to retreat from our outer-world affairs. Spend time focusing on rejuvenation. We may appear to be known as more reserved during these periods by others. No need to worry about it.

Tortoises know this secret. They live longer. Adhvaitha a giant Aldabra tortoise, inside an enclosure at the Alipore Zoological Garden in Calcutta, India lived longer. It died on Wednesday, June 29, 2005. Addwaita, believed to be the world's oldest surviving tortoise, aged about 250 years, died in the zoo of liver failure. Zoo officials say he was a gift for Lord Robert Clive of the East India Company, who was instrumental in establishing British colonial rule in India, before he returned to England in 1767.
Aldabra tortoises come from the Aldabra atoll in the Seychelle islands in the Indian Ocean, and often live to more than 100 years of age. Males can weigh up to 550 pounds.One would not like to live that much longer. Yet the tortoises leave a message. How not to get much exerted; how to get peace by remaining withdrawn.

At least for some time.
