Amazing! The world is still intact...even though here it is 3:45pm now and I have not raised one finger to do a lick of work so far today. No pruning, no weeding, no mowing. My yard cart is right where I left it yesterday full of barberry and forsythia branches. Nothing has been accomplished inside, either. Even more amazing is the fact that I actually stretched out in my hammock on a Wednesday afternoon to listen to an audio book and then took a nap! I've never been in the habit of napping so I felt a little disoriented waking up from one. My first instinct was to feel quite guilty as I thought of how differently I had intended to use this day but it didn't take long at all for the guilt to subside and for some self-indulgent permissiveness to take its place.
I have been off the premises, though. Earlier, I gave John a lift to town on my way to Curves. Afterward, I sat at the little bluestone table in the library lawn to wait for him, sipping a cup of coffee and eating a bagel. I took advantage of the time to familiarize myself more with my new phone by reading the manual. I also had a nice impromptu visit with some of my family who noticed me there and stopped to say hello. I enjoyed imagining how nice it will be when the new Village Square is ready for use like that. Who knows, I might even take another day off and go take a nap there!
I could get used to this relaxation......
