I just love this quote and the sentiment behind it.
There are many times that I am tempted to feel bad because I am not so"busy."
There are times when we hear busyness equated with great ministry and service for God.
But there is also a blessing in stillness, in quiet, in a slow pace.
There is something to be said for a quiet day with a loved one.
I shared a pleasant day with hubby today.
Some Saturdays start with early morning men's prayer meetings.
Some Saturdays have a planned wedding or party.
Some Saturdays have a to-do list as long as your arm.
Today was all "FREE."
We started the day with a run and walk at a local park.
Hubby had had a lot of travel and had not completed all his workouts,
so he ran with me today.
My interval today was a 5-minute run, 3-minute walk, 5-minute run, 3-minute walk, 5-minute run.
We finished and he enjoyed the "fitness court" while I walked some more.
Then we came home to wash the car.
Yes, even that is enjoyable with some company.
I also spent some time adding some organic matter (old plants) and potting soil to my early birthday gift.
Do you see the two new pots that will soon contain some "Sunpatiens?"
Next was lunch at Blaze - pizza and a salad.
We had the whole patio to ourselves (possibly because of the strong wind.)
Then onto Belk - a local department store that had 70% off of some great clearance items.
Then we stopped at 2 of the "ritzy" nurseries to look at plants and lawn ornaments.
We cleaned up when we got home,
enjoyed a coffee, tahini, cauliflower smoothie,
and then we enjoyed a leisurely Bible time.
It is allergy season, so we are in for the rest of the night,
but I have enjoyed a quiet day and feel refreshed by the break.
