What a fun trip we had! Nothing like time with girlfriends. Ahh, the therapy. Retail therapy. Music therapy. Spa therapy. Friendship therapy. All wrapped up in a 27 hour trip. Fantastic. Much-needed. Note to self- do this every few months.
As much as I realize I am so blessed in so many ways, I don't really "feel it" until I'm gone. Away from my everyday life. "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Yes, yes it does.
I woke up this morning feeling well rested with the exception of the minor hangover, the "worth it-dance and jam out with a few draft beers-worth it" hangover. Grateful #1 this morning for SLEEP. Sleep is an awesome thing. No alarm clock this morning, no wake-up call from the handsome 2-year old in the other room. Grateful. Sleep.
Back home. Resting. Baby is napping. Hubby is studying. Reflecting on the trip. Grateful for new experiences and impromptu plans that create memories. Thankful for memories and pictures that bring us back... or a song... a scent...
In between the random thoughts, the lawn mower is buzzing in the background, on this beautiful spring day. Thankful for my neighbors and this safe neighborhood we live in. Grateful for the sounds of people taking care of their homes and yards, the smell of someone doing their laundry, laughter... a car slowly whizzing by, the birds chirping in the background...
This is what weekends are for...
