there was a movie way back in my day where a kid took a day off of school and did a whole bunch of crazy stuff because life moves pretty fast and sometimes you gotta stop and take time to drink it in … now, i may not be ready to go driving a ferrari or singing on a parade float, but, tomorrow, we’re gonna do just that … now, to the ssa … that got me wonderin and ponderin’ … you know … days off are supposed to happen and meant to happen … it’s not just the crops, WE need rest, too ….. heck, even HE took a day off after creatin’ everything … it’s just what do we DO with the day off when we get it … do we chock it full of chores and “honey do’s” so full that it’s not so much a day off as much as it is a work day of a different sort ?? and, like most of us, instead of a full day off, is it more of an hour or a half day off … but, the trick is, just like our fictional buddy ferris, we need to recognize it and take time to make the most of it … ya know, even though i work 50-60 hours a week and have for, well, my adult life, when i look though the thousands of pictures and hundreds of videos of memories that make up the “memory wall” that we have, there may be a couple dozen pics of me at work and a couple of videos, but, the rest are of, as paul harvey would say, “the rest of the story” .. which is what we’re gonna be working on again tomorrow .. so whether it’s getting soaked by an orca or laughing at sea lions or counting with elmo, i’m not sure, but, something in life will happen tomorrow that’ll be a worth putting into the memory banks, you can count on it 😊 …
