Today is the first day of my first sabbatical ever and the first day of a new season of blogging. Not sure that anyone cares, but writing is a great place for me to express my thoughts and feelings. Thanks for indulging me!
First, let me say a great big "thank you" to Pastor Daniel, the elders, and the people of Mid-Cities! A 6-week sabbatical for the purpose of rest is unheard of! Writing is rest for me! Thus, the blog. Spent day one driving to Lubbock. We laughed, sang, and talked about what this season of rest might look like. Exercise (this is not new, just doesn't have to happen at 6:00am for a few weeks). Reading. Reading books I want to read. More about the books I chose as I read them. Finalizing some travel plans that I will elaborate on as the summer unfolds.
Tonight, I took Caylee to see Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer movie. What a great start to a great summer. A date with my daughter. A movie that promotes maximizing my summer. Fresh new ideas on how to rack up "thrill points" throughout the summer and for the rest of my life. So, to start the thrill points off right, after the movie, Caylee and I danced in the floor in front of the big screen (only worth 10 points since we were the only ones there). Stay tuned! It will be a privilege to share the journey with you!
