laziness next to Godliness

For many people, climbing on to the couch mid-morning after church and starting on episode 1 of 5 of the Felicity reruns would not be a wise investment of time. Most would come away feeling less than productive. This morning, and really starting lastnight - this is just what the doctor ordered. Even though I worked Friday some, I have really been free from work obligations since Tuesday night and one would think abundance of time on my hands would render a relaxing few days at home. One would think. Somehow even among no actual commitments I found myself 'doing' and 'doing' all week long. I did get to enjoy some reading/writing time that was such a treat but other than that I did spend the rest of the time 'doing.' The sad thing is I don't know what I was 'doing.' Side note: I don't have too many regrets in life but I am feeling one come on and I dont like it. I think honestly is the key to anything in life - especially honesty with yourself. I am not sure if I was too busy for my family this Thanksgiving or if they were too busy for me but for having ample time this week I would have expected to see them more. I take for granted that my family is so close. So I call this morning to make ammends and go hang out and the boys have already gone back to school. Side note ended. I lose.
So as my second option for spending my day wisely I have defaulted to do nothing. I got home from church, heated up some of this amazing soup I made yesterday, put on something comfortable and plopped on the big brown chair. Catie G must have been thinkning the same thing because she had already begun one of season 1's episode of Felicity. How fabulous is TIVO? AFter episode 1 I figured I couldnt possibly do 2 because these terrible feelings of laziness would creep inside of me and begin to take over to where I wouldnt enjoy the downtime anyway. I got up momentarily and saw outside that the rest of the world seemed to be relaxing today too and soaking up the hours and decided right there I should and would do the same. Now, after episode # 4 (which is all in abbreviated period due to the beauty of TIVO) I am moving to he couch, grabbing my book to finish and I am going to be good at this 'non-doing' today. Don't bug me or ask me to do anything please.
PS- If you are a Felicity fan you may understand why I can watch 4 now 5 episodes of Mr. Ben. Heaven.
Ciao.
