Run, run, run, run. Busybusybusybusy.
No matter how busy I
really am, I tend to live my life as though the two above sentiments were
needed. I don’t always like to see this in myself, but I do more often than
not.
And I know that’s exactly why, on Friday night, when I found
myself sitting on a blanket in the park, I felt so very refreshed. Not to
mention that random family members from my mom’s family had convened in my
little Iowa
town for the evening. I love family. Have I mentioned that before? I do.
So, there we sat, in the park, listening to a string of
singers belt out tunes in a white band shell. My aunt, uncle, other uncle,
cousin, husband and I were sitting in the very back of the audience. Most of
the heads in front of me were covered in either white or gray hair.
I don’t know if it was the gentle breeze blowing through the
trees, the fact that I was just being instead
of doing, or the man in front of me scratching through his hair with a plastic
fork, but I was so happy.
So restful, so happy.
