Yesterday, my friend Laura (http://sherri NULL.machighway NULL.com/~heidiros/2010/friend-friday-meet-laura-pinney/) arrived with her son Aedan and daughter, Satya. They spent the night and had to leave today at noon. It was far too quick a visit, but it was lovely to reconnect after about 9 months. I got to meet sweet Satya for the first time and she is beautiful.
Tonight, I get to reconnect with Kellynn (http://sherri NULL.machighway NULL.com/~heidiros/2010/friend-friday-meet-kellynn-meeks/) and Holly (http://sherri NULL.machighway NULL.com/~heidiros/2010/friend-friday-meet-holly-burrell/) who I’ve dearly missed over the last months.
And tomorrow, I will spend the morning with Maria (http://sherri NULL.machighway NULL.com/~heidiros/2010/friend-friday-meet-maria-kim/). She’s going to teach me about deep watering for my garden. (What’s left of it).
And THEN, I am leaving for Ojai for my own private little writing retreat. I get to stay two nights. I’ve promised myself it’s ME and the page. And no other phone calls or distractions. I’ll probably take myself to dinner in Ojai on Sunday night, but other than that, I want to dig deep.
it’s a full delicious weekend. I am thankful for friends and fullness. And for giving myself what I need more often. And for letting myself off the hook now and again if I don’t manage to write a friend friday on time.
Tune in next week for a glorious pal and remarkable woman — Kathy Blandin.
Big love to all.
