The Friday Story

IT'S TIME

Take a vacation... if just for a minute.

  • Slow down to take a look at a flower;

  • chat with an old friend;

  • close your eyes and imagine something wonderful;

  • read a few lines from a good book;

  • make some popcorn (...with extra butter).

Take a vacation... if just for an hour.

  • Gaze into the morning horizon and wonder what's out there;

  • take a walk with your spouse and hold hands;

  • relax in an overstuffed chair and page through an old photo album;

  • try to count the stars and connect all the dots;

  • read the newspaper from cover to cover.

Take a vacation... if just for a week or two.

  • Play golf, ski, swim, shop, get a massage;

  • go out to dinner and try new foods and revisit old favorites;

  • tell stories to your family and friends about the old days, and days yet to come;

  • watch an old classic movie and wonder about the brilliance in every line, in every scene;

  • sleep late, plan nothing, take a long nap on a chaise lounge chair poolside by the waterfall.

Take a vacation. What are you waiting for?

...it’s time.

Until Next Friday,
