This time last year I was on my way home after helping Mike and Aimee move halfway across the country.
I blogged about looking forward to hugging the younger kids and sleeping in my own bed.
Today my feelings are the same...
I look forward to hugging my kids and sleeping in my own bed.
The past nine days of furlough from work have been good. Some of the days were spent at the beach and the past five days have been spent in the mountains at Silver Falls State Park.
I brought a number of projects with me that I had been wanting to finish for quite sometime. 9 days ago I envisioned accomplishing so much; photos to edit,
books to finish reading,
Photo books to begin writing,
quilts to make,
and a prom dress to alter.
Aside from altering the prom dress I didn't do a darn thing except sit by the fire, and take an occasional hike.
Sitting by a campfire, simply stirring the coals, chopping wood, and just keeping the flames going is very cathartic for me.
I have had time to pause,
reflect,
reevaluate,
reconnect,
and re-create.
It's been a wonderful luxury to be able to escape these past five days.
After my volunteer shift at the nature store this afternoon I will head home to a wild and crazy next few days.
I think I'm ready!
