somedays...

I am just about to sit down and read Rob Bell's book Drops Like Stars for the second time. Outside it is a typical dreary Oregon day. Not that that's a bad thing. It is what it is. I'm a bit under the weather so I'm trying to take it easy today. There are so many things beckoning my attention and I'm intentionally ignoring them. Kathi's at work, the kids are at play, and Owen is curled up in a little ball on one of the comfy Ikea chairs we have. I will sit next to him in a few minutes on the other chair and read. I'm good at this. This is what I do.

I like days like today (except for the illness). It is quiet. I am relaxed.

I like Oregon.
