I got just back from a weekend in the mountains with my sweet girlfriends! The log cabin belongs to the Aunt of one of the MMP husbands who is generous enough to let us use it every year. Generosity these days surprises me (I hate that) and it's always so lovely to see!
What a difference a year can make. Isn't that the saying? Slight changes you can see in the pictures; pregnancy, weight loss, weight gain. Some changes are sitting on bed side tables and bathroom sinks. Pill boxes. I went from one room to another and saw two pill boxes and just laughed to myself. This group of ladies, what can I say? At least we are together on this journey! We can laugh together about new pills, or vitamins. We cry together about struggles and obstacles. Grateful. That's what I am when I am around these girls, among other things.
We joke to each other about what we share and with whom. Kim walks in and begins to tell me a story, Amy starts laughing saying "you are telling her because you know she will agree with you." Too funny! We all know what story to tell and to who to get the reaction that we want and/or need at the time. That is a perk of a group like this!
It was quiet, easy, cozy, warm. We laughed, cried, ate and drank. We gave gifts, and accepted them and wished each other luck, love and well wishes especially in the next few months.
