Today

Today is Memorial Day. Today is a vacation day. Today is a gift.

I do not know where to start because I have gotten so far behind in my blogging. I want to write about everything that has happened since my last post and yet, I think today is what is important.

Today is a gift. It is ours to use for whatever we want. We do not have to get up early to go to work. We can take pictures of the chicks and e-mail them to friends. We can drink a cup of coffee while wondering around the yard in our bathrobe listening to the birds singing. We can work on the list of things that need to be done - or we can spend the afternoon at the river reading a book.

What are you doing with the gift of your Memorial Day?
