Just a lazy holiday today.
Long walks. Proper coffee. Conversations. Knitting. Painting prayer pictures. Being given cool color paintbrushes. Going to Mos Burger (the burgers are meat, no moss involved) to hang out and strategize. Watermelon sherbet. Lifey things.
Winding down on purpose, to be ready for whatever the new week brings.

"And, my lad," said the blessed John, "do not let this slight and short relaxation of my mind disturb you, as unless it sometimes relieved and relaxed the rigour of its purpose by some recreation, the spirit would lose its spring owing to the unbroken strain, and would be unable when need required, implicitly to follow what was right." -- The Conferences of John Cassian. From Chapter XXI. How the Evangelist John is said to have shown the value of relaxation.
(Thanks for the quote Priscilla!!)
