rest

anyone who knows me knows that i am a go, go, go personality. i'm always on the move, always making plans, etc, etc. i've been out of town most weekends, or jam packed with commitments most of the weekends i've been in dallas, since early last fall. this weekend i had only one commitment. a nice little wine tasting hosted by some friends of mine early saturday evening, and that was it. i have just chilled...and most importantly, i've enjoyed it.

i slept in and played hookie from church, instead enjoying a quiet bible study on my own balcony, joined only by mckenzie dog and the usual uptown noise, the trolley and some birds chirping. i then went to lunch with jay at angry dog, a great sunday treat. now i plan on hitting some golf balls, heading to the park with mckenzie and jay to take some pictures, and again, relaxing. so nice.

i share all this not to bore you, but to remind those of you out there that we can make time to enjoy life. it's simply a choice many of us choose not to make. whether it's like me, to slow down, not plan, and just relax, or to get out of town, go out, forget about it all for a while.

to sum it all up, i'll quote one of my favorite philosophers, ferris bueller..."life moves pretty fast, if you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
