Holiday

The last time I had a day off, I took a trip I had delayed from the year before. It was fun, but a little stressful. Days off before that, working 5 days a week was new and I didn't really want time off. But today, I am happy to have extra unscheduled time. That doesn't mean I won't fill it up with activities, but I am enjoying the illusion of rest and choice. It doesn't hurt that it's cool, but not too cool and sunny but not hot. A gentle breeze and blue skies. Not a beach day, really, but a day to be outside and comfortable. And I appreciate that some people don't have the day off and have to work--thanks, hospital staff, etc. I also know that it's tough when you want to work but don't have a job--and other people are celebrating not working!
