It is Saturday morning after a grueling week and I have been lingering over a 1907 copy of "Days Off" by Henry Van Dyke (NY: Charles Scribner's Sons). The book is a work of art with full color cover and spine - flowers on a field of gold foil done in an abstract that appeals.
A collection of short stories....voices from another time. The first selection is "Days Off" and contains wisdom about relaxation. "You see it is the change that makes the charm of a day off. The real joy of leisure is known only to the people who have contracted the habit of work without becoming enslaved to the vice of overwork..."
Excuse me now why I take a hot cup of coffee and do something different....it is my day off, after all.
