What would you do with a free day?Just as we were heading out the door for our long drive north, Grampa called to say that Grama was under the weather. So a day suddenly stretched before us. The kids planned a trip to the movies and sleep overs, Bruce stuck with his pinochle plans, and I decided to bake and scrapbook. I made banana bread, banana-butterscotch cake, and egg salad.
I also practiced and contemplated my "relinquish" word today:
- Made each recipe with a missing ingredient. No nuts for the bread, no chocolate chips for the cake so it became butterscotch, and no celery in the egg salad. Life goes on, one trip to the store is enough.
- I went to bed for awhile when an afternoon headache hit.
- At Starbucks my cup sleeve said YOUR NEXT ACTION ITEM: DO AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. Amen. And today was about what I wanted to do, I've already scurried to get my weekly to do's under control.
- While scrapbooking, my Sisterchicks audio book stated "Relinquishment is a beautiful thing."

Sorry to hear that grandma was under the weather ~ but it sounds like you were able to make a good day of it and seems you accomplished a lot. Relinquish. That's a hard one for me.
Sounds like a pretty good day all around. Hope Grandma feels better soon.
Hey, it was meant to be. I love unexpected free days like that. Somehow you always fill them up.
Soudns liek a great day. Good job going with the flow.
