The day dawned rather grey and cloudy. Very light rain fell during the afternoon and the evening so a walk was postponed until tomorrow. It felt cold even inside the house -- it must be the dampness. We spent the day quietly listening to TV programs and cooking supper.
A quiet day without anything on the agenda can be enjoyable. For this retired person, such days can feel like a day off. <smile> Spontaneity can find its way into the day, allowing us to be flexible and do something unexpected. I find days like this let me recharge. It doesn't mean that I am hiding from the world, but that no effort went into planning have-to-do events for the day. The only thing on that list today was to be open to the unexpected nature of spontaneity. <smile>
A phrase my mother used came to mind today. The words can be said jokingly or as an insult. I don't think taking it easy means that one is lazy. We each need to take some down time alone or with someone else, in order to keep it all together <smile>. There were song lyrics that my mother taught me that used this phrase. I share the song here in a version that makes me smile. Stay safe. Enjoy!
