The Art of the Mini-Date

I just went on a mini-date with my wife. I came home for lunch, ate quickly, and we took George outside to play because he is so very much in need of being outside right now. Then we sat on the front stairs in close proximity and talked while George cavorted under our somewhat watchful eyes. The sun was pleasant and warm and we were out of the wind. I enjoyed taking 30 minutes to just sit and talk and relax together. It made me realize the value of taking time in the moment. It also pointed out to me that I need to take my wife on dates during the day more often too, just for variety, and because the sun shine is so pleasant.
