People who know me well know that I have a bit of trouble relaxing.
It's not that I don't want to take it easy...I'm just not very good at it. There's always something I could be doing or cleaning or writing about that the idea of sitting still is tough for me.
Last week, a good friend called me and said, "Can I have you for an hour or so tomorrow?"
It'd been a while since I'd seen her, so I said, "Sure" and cleared my schedule for the morning.
She picked me up, but refused to tell me where she was taking me. We drove to a coffee shop, where we picked up coffees and continued on our way.
Final destination? The nail salon for pedicures.
We sat side by side, drinking coffee, chatting and giggling away while the technicians made our toes look fabulous. It was the most relaxing, enjoyable hour I've had in a long time.
Sometimes, we just don't know what we need until somebody else points it out to us. Thanks to my pal for knowing I could use some downtime -- and for taking the time to share it with me.
Now THAT is a friend!!!!!
