Monday Musings

It's Monday.

Normally, that would mean catching up at work, answering all my phone messages, sorting through piles of email. But Thanksgiving is around the corner. That means a week off for me.

As I sit home, enjoying my coffee, watching the morning news, I'm reminded of how very rare it is not to have a schedule. I'll probably bustle off to the grocery store soon, but for now, I'm going to pretend that I live in a slower time, when people paused to enjoy life and each other.

Much of that is my own fault, I know. I'm one of those people who feels guilty if I haven't packed every moment with something to do. But what effect does this have on my family? My health?

I know, I know. I'm a little pensive this morning. Forgive my Monday ramblings. It's just. . .I hardly ever have the time to just stop. . .and think. . .
