But, today is unique.
It is unique precisely because none of the normal things that would fill my time and space have appeared and my old friend rest is calling my name.
Rest beckons me to slow down and enjoy the afternoon with my children. Rest reminds me that the most important moments happen face to face, not face to phone or face to computer.
My body is tired in the best way. Without fail rest opens her inviting arms to embrace me with a gentle warmth and comfort.
As my shoulders relax, my body eases into the swing on my back porch the happy voices of my children ring in the air. They still spend much of their time with rest on their side. Perhaps I should as well.
