It's Sunday? Already?
It's been days since I've written. I miss my blog! But it's been good for me to take the break, to reach inside and to sit with a lot of big feelings that come up.
Ms. Moon, it was indeed refreshing and eyeopening.
As of Friday, though, it's been Moms' Weekend. Every year, for a weekend, the Moms and kids come to Ogunquit, Maine to stay at our house for a weekend. We eat, we drink wine, we eat more, we talk and talk and talk...
It is shocking to me, often, how many people don't take the time or care to know about their deepest inner selves. To think about and discuss interpersonal relationships. Not my Moms. We all get into the minutia of life and laugh on our way there.
We have the setting, that's for sure.
It is intimate and we have a chance to check in about our kids, where they've been over the last year, and our daily lives. More than that, we have time to both sit quietly on the beach with each other and take turns playing with the kids.
And did I mention we eat?
I don't mean to brag but we are all great cooks. Not good cooks, but great cooks. One cooks amazing desserts and Brazilian food- well, really, any ethnic food. One is the salad queen but please don't ever think salads are all she can do. One doesn't do the kitchen much but when she does, a great spanakopita comes out.
We love each other and over the years have come to delight in this treasured weekend.
I am truly blessed.

Vacation's over -- let's get back to work!
Oh thank u Lord!! A post!!!
Those of us who don't have a life sure count on yours to get us through the day!
I was going down fast....thanks for the airline!!
Love you,
Your Seester:)
Sounds like a most successful vacation, if you want to define a vacation, which we probably should not.
But I'm glad you got the time to be. Just be. And then be with the mamas. Sounds pretty perfect.
Hopefully, for us commentors who depend on you that was your hiatus you have referred to. You and SueJ have sent me out in the ocean without my snorkle! Sounds like a wonderful time in your recess. Good friends, good food and laughter; always the best company. Did miss you though...
You deserve every blessing. And if you don't, take them anyway and hope the fates don't notice.
i, like you, am truly blessed with great friends! it is wonderful spending time with them. glad you had a great time, the weather certainly cooperated.
welcome to maine! did you bring this fog back with you? after today, looks like the rest of the week is going to be great!
see you later this evening.
