After determined effort by Kay to start the day outdoors, we drove to a nearby river parkway, and she freewheeled along the trail, enjoying the sunshine, cool breeze, and green surroundings. It was literally a breath of fresh air following days of sickness indoors. She wished we had done that every day last week. Like, "Give me a break," Kay was thinking.
Google defines freewheel (verb) as "act or proceed in a relaxed or casual way, without making much effort."
And intermission as "a pause or break."
Some may recall the song ending with,
"You deserve a break today!
So get up and get away!
To McD...!"
[No, this blog is not about fast food, tho' I like it.]
Randomly recalling the good old days of epic films that had an intermission, some of those are among my favorites. I could name a few here, as fellow seniors could, too.
The pause was a welcome chance to get up and stretch, use the restroom, buy popcorn, go out for a ... (not for me), and visit with friends.
With September 16th starting the second half, I see our Sabbath stroll as a fitting intermission for my eternal companion ... and the privilege we had of receiving the sacrament from priesthood holders, as a comforting way to face the weeks ahead.

Kay stopped along the way to smell the roses in the gorgeous garden.
Don't we all need to take time to smell the flowers, so to speak?
