I'm consumed today with packing and getting last minute things done for church and our trip. This past week I doubled up on all my work at the church, many hours longer than normal to get everything done before I leave so that I really can leave my work behind . I can't even describe to you how much we need this right now and how many things have tried to stop us from going. But we're GOING! Kathryn also insisted I take the week off from NextJob. She's amazing like that. I told her up front when telling her about the trip that I planned on keeping the schedule of all of my appointments from our cabin in Gatlinburg but she said, "no, absolutely not! You need this rest!!" This week when I said she could still call me for a few things she was adamant about me getting "sacred time" as she calls it. What a blessing she is.
I will, however, blog from Tennessee. Writing isn't a chore for me -- it's one of the main ways I relax and let down. It's as essential to me as breathing. Larry and I will focus on one another, however we will both take time for ourselves there too and I can guarantee he'll watch a game or two on TV or something else by himself -- which is great. We both need solitude and couple time and both are sacred.
Off to finish packing and cleaning.
