Slack Day

Don’t you love when a day unfolds in just the right way? Here’s my perfect summer Slack Day…

It’s doesn’t take much to make me happy. Just an easy, uncomplicated day will do the trick. Sleep late on a Sunday. Go for a float at the lake. Spring-fed water and a blue sky.

Seems silly to celebrate an ordinary day. But really, when nothing goes wrong and the whole day is just pleasant, it doesn’t get much better than that.

Let’s go to town where the local car wash is an art event. The colored light show makes our windshield look like an abstract painting. An easy task on a slack day.

Then the joy of a big gooey sundae at the new ice cream shoppe.

Followed by a four-wheeler ride up the knob hills to look for wild blackberries.

Slacked off on a neighbor’s porch as the sun set to complete the evening.

A day where everything flowed, nothing broke, and time didn’t matter. How often does that happen?
