My last guests have departed. I am sitting in my corner chair listening to the sounds of silence. Ahhh……….
What a wonderful group of women I got to entertain. The best part of doing the retreat center is meeting such incredible women. Trusting our paths will cross again.
I learned this weekend I don’t want to do big groups again though. It was too much. Not sorry I did it but right now I can’t say that I will agree to do another big group unless I have help. Cooking five meals back to back for 15 people was a lot of work. I am trying to figure out how to eat for the next couple days and not cook or use any dishes as I am very tired of cooking and washing dishes!
Still not sure what direction I want to take the retreat center for the future. I don’t have anything on the schedule and right now am not motivated to put something on the calendar. Maybe something will present itself and I will add it. The part that drives me to do that is meeting new people and making new friends. That is my reward for my hard work.
I need to check in with all my critters this afternoon and make sure they are all good. I have barely given them any attention this weekend. The chickens enjoyed lots of extra treats from the veggie scraps and leftovers. The dogs got in some extra treats too.
Sure enjoying the break from the hot, humid weather today. It is absolutely beautiful outside today with the high in the low 80’s and lower humidity then we have been having. It is to heat back up this week but for today I will enjoy the break in the heat.
Trying to talk myself out of taking a nap so I can sleep tonight. We’ll see how the afternoon unfolds and if I can stay awake. I didn’t sleep much all weekend. I’m glad I have an open week this week so I can rest and recover.
Deep breathing. Listening to the sounds of silence. All is well on the beautiful prairie today!
