enjoy doing. 

“Come on and help me in the yard,” she says so cheerfully, “you will
enjoy it. It's a beautiful afternoon.” 

Obviously, we have been married for so long and she still doesn't know
what I enjoy. One of the things I do not enjoy is working out in the 
yard, sweating and approaching the cliffs of exhaustion. 

My idea of loafing has nothing at all to do with “enjoying work.” 

Of course, if you include in this category the idea of enjoying loafing
for sheer loafing sake, then you got my attention. If I enjoy loafing, 
I should be allowed to enjoy it as often and as long as I can. That is 
what summer is all about. 

Another stage in this area of loafing is practicing the art of
horizontal extension. Here is an area where I excel. Nothing is more 
enjoyable than sitting on the back porch with my feet stretched out as 
far as possible, my head and shoulders reclined back and a glass of 
iced tea in my right hand. That is what loafing is all about. 

Between my wife's working and my loafing this summer is going to be a
wonderful time. Both of us are doing what we enjoy doing and hopefully, 
not getting in each other's way. I make it a rule not to interfere with 
her working and I am working on getting her to make a rule not to 
interfere with my loafing. We are halfway there. 

I think David understood my position exactly. “And I said, Oh that I had
wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest” (Psalm 
55:6). 

I am poised, and ready to face the summer with all the loafing I can
experience.
