Good Friday

Just another day in paradise.... As I sit inside looking out, I embrace the sun that casts long shadows. The day looks beautiful, but we all know that sun in Nebraska does not guarantee warmth. I just checked and the thermometer reads 49°F. This is nicer than a blizzard, but not nice enough to plan too much for outdoor fun and activities. Ok, I admit, I am a wimp. I like warmer warm (if there is such a thing). I have opted to 'just be' today. I know when the day is done I will mourn the time wasted... But in the wasting, I am not provoked. I just want to embrace the rest and feel the laziness in my bones. Tomorrow I will clean, or grade papers, or wash the laundry, or do any number of other neglected chores... But today, I'm resting. I'm taking mine off the top.
