Day Off
Yesterday was Thanksgiving, a special holiday for most Americans. But as Americans who haven't lived in America for several Thanksgivings, our traditional day is far from traditional. In past years we have taken advantage of a four day weekend to go on a trip, but this year we tried something different.
We spent the entire day in our pajamas.
We did nothing productive.
We watched movies and ate whatever we wanted.
It was one of the most refreshing days I've had in a while.
Most of the time keeping things in order gives me peace and a sense of calm. But sometimes all that stuff doesn't matter. Sometimes resting matters. Sometimes drawing the line matters - the line that defines what is important and what ... just isn't. This doesn't happen often for me. I get my energy from order.
But in the rare case that we need a break AND we have the opportunity to do so, well that's an opportunity that can't be missed.
