(dinner with my girl family.....i love them so much)
My house is quiet...
still...
my heart is heavy but
full up with love and gratitude...
laundry is piled on the floor
but i don't care because
it is a reminder of the amazing
women i had staying with me the
last 4 days.
funny....how i wish the piles were higher.
it would mean they were here longer.
i cannot wait to share more
about my time with them,
but right now....
i am going to sit with it,
let the tears fall and
the gratitude fill me up
that God has blessed me
with such amazing women in
my life.
(i miss these toes!!!)
i hope everyone is well
and you enjoy today's choice for
monday music!!!
sending love!!

Ohhh, LOVE this! You are right - you are lucky!! My group is a little smaller, just my sister, my sister-in-law and me, but we started the girl get-togethers about 10 years ago and there is nothing like it!!! NOTHING!! Especially when you have a lot of history. Did your voice get hoarse from all the chatting and laughing?? Ha ha, never a lack of things to talk about with a bunch of women that you know well around!
ReplyDeleteI am recovering from company as well, my nephew and family who live in Cambodia and I only see every few years, so I can relate to the bitter-sweetness once they are gone. So glad you had this time together, especially at the beach!!!
You are blessed because you yourself are such an inspiring angel. I bet they all miss you even more than you are missing them sweet girl!
ReplyDeleteLove to you
Kelly

ReplyDeletei love you lady, so much!
Looks like you had a wonderful time with your ladies. So happy to hear. I cannot wait to hear more.

ReplyDeletelove the toes

of the higher the laundry,

for friendship & amazement).

Such wonderful photos!! Looks like you had a really good time with all these beautiful friends! Have a lovely merry happy day and love to you!
ReplyDeleteOh Sweet Heartwinged Sister..you now have my tears to add to yours. I'm such an emotional soul..and while reading your post it reminded me of all the times I felt the identical feelings after visiting with loved-ones.
ReplyDeleteMy husband always reminds me that these were special times that should be remembered with gladness not the other way around. And I do realize that of course. But what remains is "missing them". That longing..and the perpetual lump in my throat always seems to last about three days after a great-get-together. Then Everyday-Life returns and shows me I need to bounce back.
Just wanted to say (after all my Southern Long-windedness) that I truly relate. Please give the world your beautiful smile :). I read some place that by actually smiling..it sends a happiness signal to the brain. So try and cheer up sweet lady.
And for Pete's Sake..don't go listening to sad music today..Put some of your good stuff on and DANCE IN THE SUNSHINE! LIFE IS GOOD!
Hugs of Love & Understanding,
Terri
