I know we're due for a Short & Sweet or an Oh Susanna (though I can't for the life of me remember which right now since the Jingle Contest disrupted the schedule.)
But you know what? We're taking the day off today.
 |
| these two totally have the hang of it :) |
Pack a little snack (may I suggest some fresh strawberries and homemade banana bread?)
Put on some sunblock.
Grab that paperback you've been dying to indulge in but haven't found the time, or your pad and a pen if you've been struggling to get into your writing groove lately and been foiled by distractions and/or obligations.
Now head out onto the back porch where the bees are humming in the lilacs...
 |
| yeah... these are rhododendrons because I don't have a picture of our lilacs :) |
A park bench under the apple blossoms is always nice...
... or a blanket on the wave-lapped sand if you're lucky enough to be near a beach.
A small table at an outdoor cafe would be lovely...
... or a meadow dotted with wildflowers... or the slow glide of a canoe on a still pond.
Get comfy.
Soak up the sunshine.
Breathe in the fresh air.
And enjoy doing something just for you.
Feel free to share your choice of day off (real or imaginary :)) in the comments below.
And have a lovely day :)
(And forgive me - I spent my weekend driving to and from Vermont to fetch half a dorm room's worth of stuff so #3 has room for the rest in her car when she comes home this week, spending some quality time with #5, and seeing #4 off to his senior prom *sniff* I may need a hanky :) As a result, I ran out of time to prepare a Short & Sweet or an Oh Susanna. But I do truly want you all to have a lovely day off! :))
