Recharging

It's been hot in the valley. And you know how you feel when you find yourself stuck in the routine of the daily things that are required of you? You know what I'm talking about: laundry, dishes, preparing meals, cleaning up after meals, etc. It just never goes away. That's why sometimes we need to take ourselves away and have the opportunity to slow down, to breathe deeply, to look at the sky and to relax so we can remember why we are here.
Some of our family headed to the mountains for part of their stay-cation and invited us to join them for the evening. When we found the perfect campsite for them (we headed home later to sleep in our own beds!), we saw that someone had left fun things for us to enjoy. It felt a little 'Flintstone-like' if you know what I mean!
It was a perfect time to 'step away' from our routine, enjoy some family, relax and remember what it feels like to connect. Not just with nature, but with our family and with our creator.
And to be a little silly in the process!
