Wintering: The Power of Rest and Retreat in Difficult Times

Have that feeling many days--Schools only a MONTH away!!! Even my daughter is ready to go back WOW!
You get "me" back full-time once the kids head to college! Then, you'll miss "THEM." I hope you'll remember YOU once in a while between now and then. 🙂
I miss me too!! Love it! With God's grace, wishing you peace and many blessings to you and yours!
Wow. It's crazy how time flies, kids are all over the place one minute and the next they're gone. Right now, I'm right where you are. I"m wondering where RHonda went. But I know my days will come and I'll be tearing up, looking around, wondering what to do with myself!!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Haha! I just love this!!!
Funny! There are times like now, when I'm so glad I am an empty nester:)
