Reluctantly it’s time for my driver to head for the city …

… to trade off the view of one type of green carpet for another.

We exchange solitude for fellowship, and get ready to revel in the companionship of the crowds; the company of friends.

A few boisterous rounds of “Take me out to the ball game …” and too many hot dogs and ice cream!

Then of course there will be days to catch up with the activities and details in other people’s lives … generally over even more food.

Tradeoffs? Solitude or fellowship? Both are an amazing gift from God — enjoy what you’ve got in front of you today!!
