It's Thursday already. What a week. This was the first morning that my child and I actually made it to the bus stop. It's been a difficult week waking up and getting out the door in time. Having said that, a new bus driver was driving on Monday and Tuesday and he was super early.
It's not that we were not trying. On Tuesday, I thought I heard something as I was zipping up the child's jacket, and sure enough the school bus was driving off.
I think swimming was child's motivation for actually staying in her bed and falling asleep so the bus could be taken this morning. Three of them swim at the local pool once a week.
Now, I'm changing gears.
While out for coffee and quality time with the other half, I tried to take pictures. I thought my camera couldn't get a good picture of this, but take a look. The camera came through, and I am happy that it did.
That is North Grand Pre on a fallish-like day as I sat in a parking lot in Wolfville. Sweet lovely NGP!
Take a good look at this sign. Straight forward at a glance. Yet when I thought about it, what does it really say? Idle free is good for vehicles and consequently for us. That's good.
If you think of idle as in lazy, it's still good. Idle free work. Work without idleness... hmmmmmmm.... for idle hands make for the devil's work. I vaguely remember my grandparents saying that.
Idle free work is productive and healthy and good for us all.
And in conclusion, I would say it's okay to park it for a few hours, too. We all need to rejuvenate ourselves and rest is it. We're made for rest anyways.
Here it is Thursday. One more day of school and catching buses (or at least I hope so) and then the weekend. Child could be involved in multiple activities on Saturday, so I've had to make a few choices in consultation of course. It's going to be a busy one, unless we're snowed in. JUST KIDDING about the snow.
How was your thrilling Thursday?
