Had an unexpected day off today. One of my clients cancelled and the other had shifted their schedule. Since I rarely get a real traditional Saturday and Sunday, this Found Friday has been a delight. I have puttered between laundry, dishes, reading and movie watching. The day has seemed endlessly long even after sleeping in a bit.
I'm reading Steve Jobs biography and the luxury of being able to sit down and read a chapter every now and then in a book that is four inches thick was a little bit of heaven. I had been waiting to watch 'National Velvet' for years. The opportunity to fold laundry while experiencing such an excellent classic film set me to thinking about including it in the family film series I sponsor on Vashon Island.
Doing a few more chores and then taking the time to laugh through Dan Ackroyd and John Candy in 'The Great Outdoors' was so good... to laugh big deep laughs over ridiculous situations made me think about looking on Amazon to see if they have the old Second City Series.
In short.. I have enjoyed all the moments of today. Don't get me wrong, I love serving others. A day when I have a break from anyone making demands upon me except inanimate objects that need cleansing or restoration to order is great joy.
I have five minutes on the treadmill and then I'm going to go to bed early to read some more.
What I discovered today was that I am tired, weary, worn out. Having a day when just me can tell me what to do and when and how long and how well is so restorative. I didn't plan this nor would I have arranged the sumptuousness of it given the choice.
But God took good care of me today. Thank you God for spoiling me with a day of wandering through my duties at my own pace, my own whim, my own thought pattern interrupted only by small pleasures.
God is good...all the time.
Love,
Deborah
