Re-treat

Once a month we book a morning or day out to take as a retreat time. Time to go be refreshed, pray, realign if needed, slow down. It's pretty much the first thing to go into the diary each month, otherwise it doesn't happen.
Today was mine and I caught the early ferry across to Formentera. Oh my goodness, I felt like I was on a treasure hunt for beautiful details... A truly wonderful morning walking the coast of Formentera - I saw 2 people the entire time! Time to pray, listen, look. I caught the lunchtime boat back and had walked 11km in the sand (achy thighs now, walking on sand feels extra, ha!). Extras added. 
Home in time to get Asha to her extra Catalán and maths class. As I waited for her, I bumped into one of our lovely homeless friends, so he stayed and we nattered for a long time. Then as we waited for the bus back to town we bumped into a Roma friend, so it was good to have a big hug and catch up.
Caña Club and Claire had brought us goodies from the UK, vegan gf choc for Nate, double decker for Asha, eye masks for me, and choc for Danny!

Today I'm grateful for;
1) A special morning, in lots of ways.
2) Feeling refreshed.
3) A lovely time with Asha as we went to and from her class... With a touch of stress though as the bus sailed past us and we had to run to catch it at it's next stop at the station, ha!
