The wisdom of shabbat, or the sabbath. One day a week, try no work, no electronics, no driving. Choose a day and make it yours!

I feel a bit like a rudderless sailboat right now. I drop the last of my three daughters off at college this Saturday to start her freshman year. My wife passed away from breast cancer five years ago leaving me with three teenage girls. They have been 100% of my focus the last few years. I am now the sole inhabitant of our home of twenty years that is busting at the seems with....stuff. It's so staggeringly quiet. I am an Enneagram 5. So, it's not unusual for me to get stuck in my head. I think I have read every book out there on "Launching your second act!" I guess that starts Sunday morning. I am also thinking a lot about other places and dreaming of rain. Today is the 33rd consecutive day it has been over 100 degrees here in Texas. It's brutal and there is no end in sight. Everything outside is brown and dead. Send some of that rain my way if you can :)) Really enjoy your posts. I grew up in Massachusetts and this is the first summer in 10-years I haven't spent two weeks on the Cape. Never going to make that mistake again.
