Earlier this week Glen and I took a fun trip to Southern California (post coming soon). When we got back I was more than overwhelmed with life. I also have had a hard time getting a grip after being released from Young Women's and put into Cub Scouts. Saturday morning, Glen asked me to write a list of what I needed to get done, then he put me in the car, drove me to North Phoenix to the JW Marriot Desert Ridge Resort and Spa.............and left me there!
At first I was a little uneasy there alone, with even minimal cell phone privileges, really alone. After spending some time learning to let go and be pampered, I started to enjoy my new planet. I spent three days reading, writing in my journal, getting spa treatments, laying in the sun, eating food I didn't prepare, and letting someone else make my bed! I really enjoyed it! By Monday morning I was really missing the family though. I just couldn't stand not sharing this great place with them, so when they came to get me we all played together in the pools and lazy river, and I introduced the boys to my duck friends (who I admit talking to quite a lot during my stay - hey I missed Mr. Darcey too!).
Well, now I am home, and happy to be. What a great family I have! I am so grateful for the recharge so I remember to take the time to enjoy the time. Thanks Glen!
