I took off a couple of days so I could have a long weekend to do as I please. Christmas break was the last time I had a chunk of free time where I wasn’t thinking about something at work.

As I often tell you here, we have seasons in our lives and this busy one is the season I just left. My big first quarter project is now complete and it’s time to move on to other things. But first, my tired mind needed a break.

So I spent this weekend on a day trip with my fella as well as another day trip solo. I had a day at home and, for today, I have a combination of errands and creative pursuits planned.

Yesterday I told you about a cool art exhibit we saw but there are more stories to come. As I emerge from my winter season, I’m trying to put my house and mind in order and figure out what’s next. As part of that, I plan to return to a more consistent writing schedule and hopefully find some consistency in other things that need my attention.

The birds are chirping and the sun shines bright in southern Ohio this morning. Wherever you are and whatever you are doing, I hope you make it a great day.
