Awoke at 5 am local time, sigh, and tried valiantly to go back to sleep. But it was 7 am at home, and my internal clock said it was time to get up. After 45 minutes of arguing I gave in and threw on some clothes. Down seven floors and across the street to Starbucks. But, ALAS, this Starbucks does not open until 7 am! (that would never be allowed in the US, would it?) So, after swallowing the tears I made it back to the hotel, showered, made a [surprisingly good] cup of coffee in my room, and here I am - snugged in the heavenly robe and studying Ephesians with my LOGOS Bible program.
I am purring. Room to myself, A/C on high [my family is always cold...so...this is a treat...], my laptop, my Bible, my study guide, good coffee, a plush robe, a desk, a club chair with ottoman, and time. Time stretches before me. I'll be at the hotel 3 nights total, and then 4 nights at my ex-sister in law's, and then one night in a hotel near the Seattle airport before my return trip. Long enough to really unwind. Study. Read. Pray. Blog. Journal. Write. Relax.
This is good. Thank you Father. I am ready to regroup.
Yes, I'm also reconnecting with my dear brother Jon - but that's a story for another post. And with my sister Sally - yet another story. But what is overwhelming me in this very moment in time is how deliciously decadent these early morning hours feel. Blessings.
Sounds like heaven. I'm smiling thinking of your joy. Glad you have this week of reconnecting and R&R. Be well, my friend. Hugs and blessings.
