As she wrapped our gift, the lady behind the counter mentioned that they do wine tastings on the patio. I instinctively said no, we'd love to but we don't have the time.
I've felt so short on time lately. We've been overwhelmed and end up with very little unscheduled time. I have a hard time relaxing even when I block time out for it, because I'm thinking of people and tasks that are going neglected.
But the day was so unexpectedly gorgeous that I decided it was a sign. A sign that we should sit down outside and taste a flight and eat some cheese and spend an hour talking about nothing important.
{tasting - venokado}
And so we did. Because those unimportant things are sometimes the most important.
I could not agree more, it can be so difficult to switch off. I'm glad you found the headspace to relax a little and hope you enjoyed the wine.
ReplyDeleteCheese and wine with the husband is always a good enough excuse to take a day off. Looks like you had a lovely time.
