Keep Stepping

What I really want is a nap. A nice long nap. I know we will head for church a bit early because Kiel is going with us and we must pick him up. After church, I need to order the cake for Drew's graduation party which is next Sunday after church. Then Kiel needs to go to the Apple store and drop off his computer for repairs (which is why he went to church with me because it will save him some gas). Then we need to make a special birthday dinner for Andrea complete with present (which I still need to get) and dessert (she craves raspberry kuchen). Then we will watch a movie together (turned out to be A Thousand Words - it was OK). Then Drew wants to have a friend over. Then it will be time to walk the dog.

Shoot. There is no down time scheduled for today. What happened to a day of rest? Someday my life might actually be mine to live as I wish. But then, I would be alone and what good is that? So I just keep stepping, doing what comes next, grateful that there are people in my life who need me and are willing to do things with me. Naps can wait.
