A Time For Me

There are times in life when everything just seems to fall into place.  This trip to Washington is one of those.  My friend, Pilar, and I planned this trip a couple of months ago.  When I found out I would be having surgery next week, I thought I should probably cancel the trip.  After giving it a little more thought, I realized it was the PERFECT time to get away, have some fun and take some time out for thought and reflection.  Yesterday was our FUN time!  We went to Seattle and had THE BEST day!  It was full of laughter, good food and beautiful scenery.  I couldn’t have asked for a better day!  Here are a few pics to share-

we had a great lunch at Max’s at the Marketplace

We enjoyed the fish market

We were silly enough to have our picture taken on a big, brass pig

One of the things I really wanted to do in Seattle was to go to the original Starbucks.  Heck, I’m at my local Starbucks at least once a day and I felt like I’d be making a pilgrimage.

Today has been a relaxing day with time built in for thought and reflection.  I need a little time to make sure I have thought out all the things I wanted to question before I go in for this surgery.  I feel very fortunate to have people in my life to make that possible!  A thank you to Clay for keeping the kiddos while I got away and a thank you to Pilar for offering me her “sanctuary” as a place to unwind and be a little bit pampered.  I’m not so sure how I feel about her making me leave my phone downstairs, though.  She was serious when she said I was to relax and reflect!

Tomorrow, I will wrap up my vacation and head home.

Thank you for all the words of encouragement and the kind thoughts and prayers!  They are all so appreciated!

Have a great day~
