Why was I holding a spoon? And other ways to unwind.
Yesterday had been one of those days.
Up early.
Race an hour away for an interview for story.
Do interview.
Race into shop there hoping to find more camp gear for daughter.
Race the hour home.
Race to appointment.
Dashed to store to pick up something for dinner. Workout.
You know the drill. We all live it.
Summers are my favorite time of year but the house stays ransacked with three children around most days.
A friend had texted about small gathering on her porch yesterday afternoon.
I was determined to get there.
Fifteen minutes late to leave, I decided to wear my exercise wear (no time to shower) and then I saw the dishwasher still half emptied. I reached down into the racks to finish the job before I left.
Then stopped.
No.
I called a child to finish the task. And sped to my car.
When I got to my car in the drive I looked down at my hand and saw this.
I was scratching my head as to why I had a spoon in my hand — only remembering about the dishwasher much later.
Speeding through the beautiful rolling hills of the countryside, I noticed their green brilliance after all the rain.
I gathered my items and ran in my friend’s house to find smile faces. Putting down my spoon, I picked up a glass.
And took a deep breath.
And thanked God for dear friends who keep me sane.
