Anticipation

Lots of people ask me what i do on my day off...
Hard question to answer, but most of the time I reply with run errands, work on the house, in the yard, and take care of stuff.
Today is my day off...I ran errands, well the ones I wanted to, and I still have one thing to get. I mowed the yard, which lets be honest doesn't take too long when only 19% of it is growing (why is that btw? when this one part is not a watering area and yet it is the lushest and nicest grass in my yard). I payed my bills that are going to be due when I'm off saving the world. I took the dog for a walk. I read a bit. I caught up on facebook. And it is barely 1pm.
I guess a nap would be in order to refresh and recharge for a workout later. Maybe I'll watch a movie and there you have it, my day off. Seems so long and yet so short. I love the quiet in the house right now, but I feel like I would rather be out doing something, anything so I don't have to think of the next thing, or the next day at work, or the next trip planned. That's really it; I am anticipating the next thing. I need to be still and enjoy this thing, this day, this time of rest...especially since I will not be privy to much time of rest and solitude for the next ooo 2+ weeks. All good things to be involved in: trip to central America with medical mission team, trip to NY for a quick weekend family reunion/grandma's birthday celebration, work in between and after involving me being responsible for a student and her acquiring OP orthopedic PT knowledge.
Oooo...tired thinking about it, tired typing it out. Time to take that nap I spose...maybe the bike ride shall be in solitude as well with stops to listen for God's voice. I realize He can talk to me anywhere, but I like to think he prefers to hang out amidst nature and trees and sweat and dirt...especially sweat and dirt.
