Interupted

Today is a vacation day for me. I drove to Michigan and I got a hotel room right off of Lake Michigan. I was sitting out by the water this afternoon. The waters were rough. When the waves crashed onto the beach I could feel their thud through the ground.

One of the waves rolled up to a few feet from me.

The wave said, “What’s up?”

I said, “Nothing. I took the day off.”

The wave said, “I can’t imagine doing nothing. I just finished being a wave and now I’m going to evaporate. When I get bored, I’ll rain. Then who knows what I’ll do after that.”

I said, “Well, good luck to you.”

I left and went back to my hotel room. I’ve been working really hard lately and I didn’t want to feel guilty about taking some time off to myself.
