Daily Grat: One of These Saturdays

Posted on 17:34 by Unknown
"There's work to do, that's plain to see,
Laundry piled as high as me,
But the Beatles said just "Let it Be"
And that sounds like good advice."
-- David Lamotte

We had an especially lazy Saturday. Not a thing on the schedule, and a whole day to lounge around the house. Which is something everybody needs, now and then, no matter what you might think. Most of us assume that we *need* to stay busy and that if we're not somethings wrong.

But we all need "down time."

So, for a little downtime, I am thankful.

(During this year, my goal is to find something new to be thankful for every single day, and to add that thanksgiving as a blog entry, under the title "My Daily Gratitude." I started this kick back around Thanksgiving, and it's already resulted in a favorite new song of mine. The goal of this ongoing spiritual exercise is to see if doing such a thing might inspire even more gratitude within me, and to foster general awareness of life on a deeper level.)
