Find Delight in Your Days

I hope you’re getting away some time this summer. Just anywhere that will get your attention.

We are at the tail end of some vacation time in Estes Park with family – including the patriarch of the Davis side – the ‘real’ Will Davis. Pictured here with his son (my husband), Will Davis, Jr.

Delight.

We’ve been eating lots of deliciousness. (Check out these cheese grits … ) And sitting on the porch listening to Sara strum while we sip a little wine and stare at the Colorado sunsets.

Double delight.

The week has reminded me to simply enjoy life. And to love and enjoy people. And God.

As much as I appreciate the fact that many God loving people are intensely committed to living a productive life, part of God’s plan is that we enjoy this time we’re given.

To eat. And drink. And celebrate life.

Now, maybe you don’t need a reminder. But when I read this article recently about the fact that we’re a no vacation nation – and that we work like robots – well, scary.

Robots don’t eat and drink. And robots don’t do relationship. Though it’s difficult to turn off work (especially in the middle of wacky economic times!) – there is a reason to take a breath and celebrate.

To find satisfaction in your work … and find delight in your days.
