A quiet afternoon

I had planned to go to the grocery store today. Really.

But at noon I decided to lay down for a little while. It has been a pretty hectic couple of weeks and this is the first day I have actually had some quiet time.

By the time I woke up, it was almost 2. No time to get to the store before picking the kids up at school.

So in the gloom of the winter afternoon, I lay in bed and drifted in and out, thinking of God and the people I love.
