My “Time Away for Personal Retreat”…
I was away from May 30th to June 6th to attend The Sun Magazine Writers’ Retreat (workshop) in Rowe, MA. It was a great experience and I will write more about it over the next few days.
I worked Thursday and Friday in addition to doing some catch up on my to-do list. Yesterday I spent some time alone at my outdoor office/reading room (Starbucks next to Barnes & Noble). I got back into the book “When the Heart Waits” by Sue Monk Kidd. It was a nice break.
On the way back to the house I sensed a shift in my internal transitions and maybe a quieter me. My mind went into a clear reality that yes I have a few friends here, but the huge hole for me…I have never felt at home in this place. I do like and care for my friends here. They are good people. And the people I work with at my part-time job are wonderful.
Still, I wonder what’s next as I walk this path.
I notice God’s hand in my life in the changes taking place within me, and in various areas of my life. I am calmer as I take each step along the path, and excited anticipating His next surprise for me. I am grateful for all His many blessings.
I look forward to recalling and sharing my nine day adventure with you.

Welcome Home Ann! Don’t mind that bloody spot on the carpet and the fresh mound of dirt out in the yard….I can explain later……….. 🙂
Ha ha ha Mark. Thanks for the welcome back. As for the spot on the carpet I put a wee white picket fence around it; and the mound of dirt in the yard … I know you sent the ants here, and so they won’t create havoc in my yard I got the Ortho spray gun and blasted it 🙂
Glad to have you back Ann!
Thanks Blazing Trail 🙂
You’re welcome!
Welcome back! Thanks for visiting starbear. More about the retreat… please. 🙂
Thanks Starbear
Sorry I missed when you left Ann (was preoccupied with my own internal shift) but, I’m glad you’re back :). I’m glad we both are :).
Me too, glad we are both back. How ARE you doing?
