Do-Nothing Days
Everybody needs a do-nothing day once in awhile. This doesn't mean that you don't get up in the morning, get dressed, or eat meals. I don't know about you, but for me life would be no fun without food. My daughter and I look forward all day long to whatever it is we're having for supper.
"How about that Tuna-Mushroom Soup with Peas casserole tonight?"
"Oh, we just had that a few weeks ago. How about Mediterranean Chicken on Noodles?"
"That's too Italian. We haven't gone Chinese recently. Let's try Mandarin Orange Beef."
"Sounds great!"
That gets us off for the day. On a do-nothing day, the start is the biggest part of the day.
From there, well, we still have choices. I might browse the yard without picking any weeds or sprinkling fertilizer anywhere. A do-nothing day in the house consists of ignoring the dust and dirty floors in favor of a good book or a game on the computer. Time-out is taken to get the ingredients out for supper. As I said, "We don't miss meals in our house!"It's possible to take a do-nothing day away from home. Good choices are taking in that good movie you've been wanting to see or window-shopping the stores in your favorite mall. Then there's always the library or a good bookstore to visit.
Do-nothing days are good de-stressors. We need them, now and then. It's amazing how refreshed we feel after we've wandered that road for a day or so. If you haven't taken one lately, you have my permission . . .
Happy do-nothing day to you,
Margaret
P.S. As it turned out, we had Hamburger Helper for supper. Perfect choice for a do-nothing day.
