June: My Sacred Month


I am coming off an extended time off.  Me, at the beach, oceanfront for the month of June.  I checked out of my regular life.  I spent days enjoying sand and surf, playing with my grandson, enjoying leisurely chats with my son and daughter-in-law, laughing, laughing, laughing with my best friend, and fun time husband sans distractions.  Then everyone dispersed.  They went back to work and their busy lives.

I was left to just be.  No car and unplugged.

I had the privilege of lots and lots of time to eat, sleep, walk, and read at my leisure.

I devoured Revenge Wears Prada (follow up to The Devil Wears Prada).  A wonderful beach-read that required no brain-drain.
Shelf-life
My June resulted in me being:

perfectly at peace,

blissfully happy,

having clarity of thought,

and overflowing with gratitude for my life, 
my family, my friends and all of my blessings.


June was my month of pure joy. 

What a gift!

      Thanks Mary Ann. The time to sit and reflect really gave me a strong appreciation for how fortunate I am for all that I have.

      Yes Mame Kimberly, I made the most of it! I rarely knew what time it was or what day it was--just went with the flow and walked with low tide.

    Linda, so nice to hear of your revive! I always love to read Gifts from the Sea by Anne Morrow Lindbergh...it expresses in beautiful words exactly what you are doing

      Gina I need to pull Gifts from the Sea off the shelf. Someone I love very much gave it to me years ago and I always think of her when I read it. Thanks for the reminder.
