Away to Rest

At the end of 2022, I picked my word word for the year 2023.

The word was REST.

I used the scripture Exodus 33:¹⁴ as a guide and even when things at work began to get really hectic and stressful later in the year, I still focused on getting rest in my mind, my home and several other areas in my life.

To round up the year of rest, I decided to do Christmas a little differently.

I am taking a 7 day break to be by myself and rest.

Away from work, chores and everything else.

Away… to think, meditate, read and write.

So today, bags packed and mind ready, I left for a town, five hours away. It’s a highland and it’s a lot cooler than my own town.

My son is with me and he’s very excited too.

I’ve never done anything like this before and I hope this is just the first of several more.

Wish me luck.

    1. It must have been really beautiful, spending time with yourself.

      Thank you Derrick.
      I started a journal last night and as I wrote…and even this morning, you kept popping into my head. I like how you write about your day and the photos you share here.
