Last weekend I had the most wonderful time with friends in a cabin in North Carolina. Days with shopping the cozy shops in Boone & Blowing Rock, and viewing one of the awesome fresco paintings at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Glendale Springs. Nights were listening to the rain & sitting by the fire, cuddling, sharing philosophical thoughts, breathing in the quiet peacefulness.
During that wonderful weekend however, an old demon returned to haunt me .. a recurring nightmare that propels me into a screaming fit in my sleep. I woke up everyone in the cabin before I could get myself awake. Usually that happens when I'm either over-heated or over-stressed, and this time I was neither. I was comfy, felt safe and secure, and was very relaxed. The only explanation I can come up with is an explosive release of residual stress. I suspect I darn near caused a coronary.
If I promise to behave next time, can we go again ?
Please please please.
Holy Father, thank you for the love of friends.
Help me return the love I have so generously been given.
Divine Mother, thank you for the beauty of the mountains.
Help me see your face in both the sunshine and the rain.

I understand North Carolina is a good place to spend the quality time as you did with your friends...do it again soon...
ReplyDeleteJudy: It's a beautiful area!
ReplyDeleteAs one of the potential coronary victims, you need not ever doubt the possibility of a return engagement...but I really, Really, REALLY hope the nightmares stay home!
ReplyDeleteIt was a great weekend, wasn't it? Maybe the best thing about it was the uncrowded agenda, leaving plenty of time for the quieter, simpler pleasures.
Again...soon.
