It is one of those evenings that I should be going to bed, but instead I feel the need to write and so I will. I was thinking of the most recent little tender mercy I received just yesterday. Ever since Danny and I got married last autumn, things have been crazy busy. I was hoping things would calm down after planning a wedding, but not so. Life moves on. I have been enjoying our outings, the enriching activities I'm taking part of and socializing with friends. Especially lately, I'm really glad we have had company over to help me eat all this cake I've been making. However Monday (Martin Luther King Day) I woke up completely worn out. We didn't have work, but we had made plans to go snowshoeing with friends. While nature is usually one of my escapes, I just didn't know if I could muster the energy to be outdoorsy.
Then my friend called and shared with me that it had been raining all night, washing away the snow in the valley and making it stormy in the mountains. We decided to forgo the idea of snowshoeing and instead planned to meet up for dinner later that night. It was a blissful gift of relaxation. I went back to bed and slept in. Then I spent the rest of my morning in my pajamas eating breakfast while watching a DVD concert of the "The Format" with my husband. Doesn't get better than that my friends. (Also, I miss The Format. This is something I have to proclaim periodically.) The rest of the day was spent reading, relaxing and chatting with Danny. We didn't leave the house until that evening to meet up with our friends for dinner. A real day off, it was exactly what I needed.
(Another bonus, having rain instead of snow meant the temperatures were in the 40's, which was very welcomed after my last rant of freezing. Not only did I get a little break from my hectic schedule, but also a break from the snow and ice. Little things like this remind me that I am blessed.)

It's always nice to have a little down time when things have been frenzied.
