I like relaxed weekends.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not as fond of lazy weekends.<\/p>\n<p>I did enjoy hanging out with my wife, visiting someone, and reading, but the rest of the weekend was a reminder of why I&#8217;m not very fond of television. You can sit and watch and lose yourself (HGTV in this instance), and then the weekend is gone and you&#8217;re left with nothing to show for it.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t to say that all my weekends must be planned and things must be accomplished. Even when I normally work on things, there&#8217;s time to relax &#8212; even be lazy for an hour or two.<\/p>\n<p>But most of a weekend just sitting?<\/p>\n<p>I swear I ache more after watching hours of television than I do paddling a canoe all morning or hiking all day.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Next Weekend<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It&#8217;s a very busy time at work, but there&#8217;s time to get things done during the rush of it all. And there&#8217;s another weekend just a handful of days away.<\/p>\n<p>I will find time to relax next weekend, but I won&#8217;t be lazy.<\/p>\n<p>(Because I hate the way lazy feels.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a list of things I planned to do this past weekend.
