Always a Reason to be Thankful

The other evening I was heading out to a meeting and my father had come over to watch the children until Mark made it home. I was scurrying about collecting things and Dad commented, "You look just like your mom, always on the run." I hurriedly replied, "There just never seems to be enough hours in the day." Without missing a beat, Brent added, "Well, just be thankful you don't live on Uranus. It only has sixteen hours in a day!"

Of course that followed with a conversation between Brent, Devin and Opa, about how they may have shorter days, but their years are longer, so maybe they actually have more time.

I didn't hear the final conclusion. I still live on earth and had to run.

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day
listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky,
is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock
