The gorgeous trees, the retreat house, the grounds, the light coming through the trees. Suddenly I took a much needed "sigh" and started to breathe more fully.<br /><br />How perfect and timely that you went there...a soul restoring, mind easing, God knowing time. A reminder that no matter what... All is well and all shall be well. He has got this!<br />So, so glad you had this time of reflection.<br /><br />Love you to the moon and back Vicky!<br />LindaLinda Seppa Salisburyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13336969827398454131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4795026946181152215.post-56351989177896118172014-10-13T17:57:28.010-05:002014-10-13T17:57:28.010-05:00Found myself wishing I could have gone with you to...Found myself wishing I could have gone with you to that pastoral setting.

I guess of course they are made for that atmosphere. They never fail to uplift my spirits. The views of nature alone does the job. Enjoy your stay.

So I read this and I am thinking...Hmmm...I think I will borrow Vicky's post today. Why not? So, I will put up one of my photos, then link to yours, because you told it so beautifully. I can't wait to see what else you share. And by the way, this really grabbed me. So true! Thank you for gifting me with your presence. Also, I was thinking this was your fourth visit. I was misled, I think, with the one you had hoped to come to but had to pull back from. I am so glad this one worked! More soon from me too, but today I will share you, if that's okay.Roxane B.
