Isaac had a group over friends over last night. They were up having fun playing board games (seriously) and eating well into the wee hours of the morning. It was so good to hear him laughing and enjoying himself because so often, it feels like Isaac doesn't have time to be a kid.
But invariably, between school and work and being up late and not getting enough sleep, he didn't feel great this morning. And the rest of us were a bit tired, too. So it wound up being a laid back, do-not-much kind of Saturday.
For me, that meant true crime documentaries and a nap. And the later in the evening, a showing of "Ocean's Eleven" with the fam.
And between the two, I took a stroll out to the mailbox. As I walked down the sidewalk, I was taken by how quiet and still it was outside. I closed my eyes and breathed in some of that stillness.
Friends and fun are blessings. Quiet time for recharging our batteries is a blessing, too. And for all of those very good gifts, I am grateful.
