Rested

We had a great few days with our family to rest and relax.  I felt like a new person!  I savored being cooked for, not having to do dishes (we went to a wonderful retreat center) and having a garden area for the boys to play in.  Wow.  Those things just blessed me.

In the Middle Kingdom we live in an apartment and although I can easily take them outside, I can't just "let them go to the garden" or give them privacy!  Who knew that a 7-layer salad, a swing set, long daily walks with trees and grass and not having anyone question me relentlessly for a few days could bless me so much!  Ahh.

We arrived back to lots going on, BUT, refreshed and renewed.
