#24 SOL A Simple Saturday

A simple Saturday is blessing. A Saturday with no commitments. A Saturday with time. A Saturday with a act of kindness.

A simple Saturday is a blessing because I had no commitments today. The calendar box was blank and I had the gift of filling it with my choice of activity. It's sad that a simple Saturday is considered a blessing because I had no plans. It's sad that I'm on the run so much and so often that I don't have more blank calendar boxes.

A simple Saturday is a blessing because it feels like I was given extra hours. Time to get back into an old habit. Time to wander around Meijer and buy too many clearance items. Time to soak in the tub and give this aging body a little overdue TLC.

A simple Saturday is a blessing because I was able to spend the day providing an act of service. I was able to spend the day being creative in the kitchen. I was able to spend the day cooking a chicken pot pie, from scratch, for a friend recovering from surgery.

A simple Saturday is a blessing, a gift, an usually occasion. No commitments, time and kindness add up to a simple Saturday.

  1. I live the image of the blank calendar boxes. How lovely that you could spend one helping a friend.
