Gratitude Day #6: The Playing Hookie Edition

There's nothing I love more than a day spent not working. Especially the kind of day that seems to last forever because each minute spent not working is a gift.

Last Friday as clients called and plans lay on my desk unfinished, I played hookie. What started out as a couple of stolen hours turned into an entire day of absence. It was grand!

Our neighbor and I took the kayaks out on the river to catch some fall color. The trip was supposed to be short, and there was supposed to be rain and clouds.

But the Gods of Hookie had other plans, because the sun came out and it was a beautiful 75 degree day full of bright fall colors. Floating down that river in the warm sunshine was nothing short of dreamy.



I am full of gratitude to have had a day of extravagant freedom.
