--Furrow, Number 177Days on retreat. Recollection in order to know God, to know yourself and thus to make progress. A necessary time for discovering where and how you should change your life. What should I do? What should I avoid?
I am just back from a peaceful three-day retreat filled with quiet reflection, spiritual reading and resolution-making. (Oh, and lots of sleeping, too.)
I do this every year and absolutely love it. I cannot recommend it enough. If you don't already do this regularly in your life, make time for it! I come back refreshed, clear-headed, calm, and ready to make positive changes in my life.
I am renewed in my determination to be the best mother I can be to my children, reconciled with my illness and its place in my life, sure that the path I am attempting to follow is the right one.
Peace. Cheerfulness. Hope.
This is good stuff.

Suz, you have got to be one of the most amazing people I knowe. You have such an upbeat attitude and calm demeanor in light of all you are facing. It's good to see you have put your fate in God's hands and trust him to see you through this very trying time. God Bless you and my prayers are with you.

Ahhh...brings back memories...a little meditation, a few bowls of peanut M&M's, and a baby monitor!
