Detours on Hold

Today, so far anyway, I've not encountered what one would consider an obvious detour. Rather, this day has activities which are a result of the large detour six days ago. 

Had we journeyed to West Texas, today would be on a long slog of a drive home. 

Instead we had an early morning walk to the pocket park under a beautiful sunrise and cool temperatures. 

A brief stop at St. Mary's for Beth to tend to some parish needs, led me to take part in the Morning Prayer service. 

Later we rested in the hands of massage therapists at a nearby spa. 

Then lunch at a local restaurant, seated in a window booth with a lovely view. 

All forms of solace and rest so as to be ready for detours up ahead.
