Saturday Love

Lately I've found myself flitting about visiting family and old friends.  As I am on a bit of a holiday layover here in Southwest Louisiana, I am taking full advantage of the slow pace of things here before returning to Houston.  There are some connections that I need to tend to, some relationships that require refueling.  My hometown of Lake Charles is a quaint reprieve of sorts from the constant rush of traffic found in any other city.  Until today I have yet to truly embrace the slow pace of things. I've enjoyed happy hours, quiet afternoons on a girlfriend's sofa, a Sunday after church, an evening of coffee and laughs and countless dinners' full of sharing and strategizing.  There's nothing like being around people who genuinely know you.  Its been wonderful and settling but tiresome.  I admit I have made reconnecting a task, a job that I've put in full time work on.  I am officially worn out. My soul has enjoyed the benefits of reconnecting but now my body is demanding a rest.  A nasty sinus challenge (yes I refuse to say I am sick or anywhere remotely close to it) has invited me to bed to settle down for a bit. It's officially time to get somewhere and have a seat. I have my tea, television and a stack of books to indulge in.  Its time for some Saturday love thats lazy and restoring. Yes, its Saturday, I have time and a remote control at my fingertips.
