It’s almost 10 PM, and I just finished resting a few minutes on the patio watching the final gasp of the sun. Here in southwestern Michigan it gasps late. And I reminisced about the day.
I didn’t leave the house once, except to find errant weeds and water those plants that don’t have the luxury of being near a spigot on our sprinkler system. I worked on my literary project, played piano (Chattanooga Choo Choo is the arrangement of choice.), and answered emails. An altogether wonderful Sunday.
It reminded me of what I like best, and that is a no obligation day: one with no commitments whether they are health-related (as in working with a trainer) or exercise-related (as in mall walking with friends or taking activity classes at the local “Y”) or mentally stimulating (as in a book club meeting).
I have no objections to these activities, but when I find a day that is a tabula rasa, a clean slate, I revel in it. So I enjoyed today immensely.
Which also means I’m ready to pick up tomorrow’s yoke of activities and responsibilities with renewed energy.
