Respite

I have the wonderful opportunity to spend 2 nights and 3 days with friends in their beautiful spare room - built as a retreat - heating/cooling, TV, tea and coffee and fridge, en suite with bath made to lie down in and scented oil and candles - green to see from the windows, a little balcony - if it wasn't too cold for it.  Only 5 minutes walk from a creek walking trail....

Books to read - home cooked food -

It should be bliss - but it also gives time for reflection which can be painful.  Still I have use of my friend's computer now, so can keep in touch with people.  and oh yes... I forgot to bring my CD's and the music on my phone is on shuffle! so gives me a real mixture! and it is designed for walking, not reflecting...

Can't have everything.  I'll be better prepared next time!  Thankful for dear friends who share their lives with me.
