Last weekend was truly a chance to get away, be with family, mingle with friends, and be off the beaten path. Almost.
How to squeeze in a few days to forge memories with a ragtag bunch of folks, each with their own agenda, and try to get that much needed self-renewal -- physically, mentally, spiritually -- is a feat. We brought along the same old boisterous energy, the usual tactics, a handful of expectations which did not materialize but nevertheless, i was able to rise at about the same time the sun did, walk briskly until my lungs got washed with fresh air, my blood joyfully pumping, and by grace felt beloved.
