Feed My Soul

I spent the weekend feeding my soul.

How different that looks these days...

It used to be that getting away with the girls meant
eating
drinking
dancing
staying up late
sleeping in
getting up and doing it all over again

I'd go home on Sunday
feeling exhausted
overwhelmed
spent

despite the fun and frivolity

How different my girls' weekends have become...

This weekend was spent
sitting around an oven
waiting for the cabin the heat up
feet up on the oven door
wine glass in hand
potato chips and dip for lunch

This weekend was spent
going out for dinner
having a couple of drinks
coming back to the cabin
and talking
and feeling
and honoring
and admiring
and crying

This weekend was spent
watching movies
drinking coffee
going out for lunch
watching more movies
fondueing
drinking wine
and talking
and feeling
and honoring
and admiring
and crying

We set the alarm for 6:30 a.m.
left at 7:00
arrived home at 9:00
went to church
and fed my soul.

As I did the entire weekend.

My how things have changed...
