Today my sister wanted me to go to the beach with her. I hate the beach. It’s dirty and overcrowded, not to mention I have to keep an eye out for the babies of mine who think that they can swim. 🙄 But we went, and the kids enjoyed themselves. My mom and dad were in town, so it was a good family outing. The highlight of my day, though, was my best friend asked me to come over, and we haven’t hung out in forever, so I definitely was game.
It was a much needed break from everyday life. We talked for hours about our goals and fears, our ambitions, and what holds us back. We laughed and almost cried. I forgot how good it feels to just be able to talk without the constant interruptions of mom or phones ringing. I definitely need to do this more often. Not the beach, though, because eww, sand.
I have to remember to step away from the obligations of serving and show up for me.
