Sun & Sand & Good Friends

Today I returned from a weekend beach get-away with four good girlfriends. Not much time to blog this month because of work demands, planning a b-day party for my mom and just being busy in general. I hope to do better! I needed this weekend. Being with close friends and putting everyday routines "on hold" is good medicine! Even though I had a few seconds of self-pity/sadness when the discussion turned to all about their kids, it was short-lived. They all know my struggles & I just turned it into humor if they asked or it was part of the conversation. Within our group, we all have struggles... some more than others with marriage, finances, health and the friend I've known the longest, "Ed" faces challenges that none of us can understand as she helps her son overcome Autism and reach goals that others take for granted. Our relationships recognize the struggles but we mostly live in the moment of talking about things that totally give us a mental break. The sun and sand and time with friends was therapy. BTW, I did miss PC:]
