Take it Easy...



"Take it easy, take it easy.
Don't let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy.
Lighten up while you still can,
Don't even try to understand,
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy..."

~~The Eagles

It's been one of those great days where nothing went the way I wanted and it was perfect. Just perfect! The day had a better plan than I did. Exciting news. Unexpected business cheerfully tackled and concluded. Hiking and riding with the dog and the kids. A surprise picnic sitting in the car while splattering, intoxicating rain soothed us. And much later, solitude with my iPod serving up old songs, gently escorting me to that special place which is timelessly my own.

I took it easy.

And it's Friday. Timing. Perfect timing.

That is one awesome picture! Love it! Don't you love those days that turn out perfectly despite intentions?

It's a long weekend up here - woo hoo!

Cherie said...

Hey, thanks, Ann. Means a lot!

WC - My calendar says it's Canada Day - is that why it's a long weekend there? I like that photo, too. Yes, I do love those days that turn out perfectly despite intentions. They are fantastic! Enjoy your long weekend, WC!

Ahhhh.... that sea creature looks plenty relaxed. Adorable picture and good post especially your description of your 'special place which is timelessly my own.' Good choice of words. I love the way you write! Have a wonderful weekend.

AHA, The Eagles, another thing we have in common! ;)

By this time next week, I hope to be looking like the seal in your picture. Ready, or not, we plan to relax and ENJOY our 4 day vacation! If the day has a better plan, SO BE IT!

Yep, Canada Day today! And we've got nice weather so I'm going to spend it reading on my porch!

Cherie said...

Thanks, Annie! Your comments always cheer my day.

Liz, so far so good. Perfect weather, getting our work done, and still enjoying one another while we do it together. Hope you are having a pleasant weekend as well.

Tshs, gotta love the Eagles, right! I am very hopeful that you will join your whole family in looking like relaxed seals together on your four day weekend. Hooray! So happy for your chance to rest and play. No one deserves it more.

WC - nice weather and reading on the porch - BLISS! Go for it.
