- Waking up without having to get right out of bed, but spending the next hour in quiet, dozy, meditative thought and prayer
- Coffee being ready when I finally rise
- Two hours on our back deck with my wife, our dogs, and my Bible
- A random conversation with a kind, older, out of town couple in the parking lot of the church
- A lunch date with all three of my daughters filled with laughter and goofy stories
- Running into that same older couple as we went to lunch
- Parallel parking lessons with my oldest girl
- Playing a card game as a family instead of lounging in separate rooms
- A good nap with a puppy on the couch
- Ice cream for dinner
- Ending the night vegging with the love of my life.
I needed a day like today as refreshment from the weariness of the regular pace of life. It may not have been ideal for anyone else, but it was exactly what I needed.
