This year was by far our best yet.
As we drove out on Sunday night, I was feeling unsettled. I should be working. Gracie should be in school. It cost so much to care for our animals while we are away.
I didn't voice any of this to Gracie, but she was feeling it too. I miss home. I hope Izzy is ok in the kennel. Mom, I almost asked to go home, I feel like we need to be home.
We fell asleep Sunday night offering prayers for a peaceful retreat and care over our house and animals while we were away.
We woke up Monday morning feeling refreshed. Quickly, I realized something really important. Gracie rarely gets all of me. This was 36 hours we set aside to give to one another. I had no other distractions. It was just Gracie and I, a pile of art supplies, and a load of trails to be explored.
There are loved ones in our lives that deserve us, all of us. It is the gift of self. I have to be really, really intentional to do this....
