Weekend Retreat

I won't be around this weekend. I'm going on a little self-retreat. Just me, and my thoughts.

I'll be staying in a little cabin, in the woods, with a bed, desk, and a composting toilet. (Whatever that is--lol)

Many things have prompted this little getaway, the prominent one being my upcoming birthday. I need a chance, free from distractions, to read, write, evaluate and make goals for myself. Exciting stuff, I know! LOL

I'll be back to it Monday...Happy Weekend! :D

I agree with Sherry, in fact I did the same thing two years ago on my birthday! I went to Big Bear mountain by myself and rented a "cabin" (it was more like a large closet but it was perfect).

Hope you have a special time.

Hope the toilet didn't distract you from your meditation. :-)

I have done this only once for myself, and found it to be a wonderful experience. I don't know why I haven't done it since. Good for you! I hope you found peaceful meditation, moments of clarity, inspired writing, and a sense of direction. Whew!

Hemu,
My thoughts left me, but then expanded in to something bigger, and deeper. It was peaceful. :)

Thanks Barb! It's cool that you did that too! I loved it--I'm going to make a habit of it. :)

Lauren,
It didn't! :) I was very thankful for that.

It was very lovely! :)

Ferd,
Thank you, and check to all of those! lol

Fortune,
Thanks. :) Composting toilets are interesting to say the least.

Gina,
Good to see you...thanks! :)

Gary,
lol Coffee was not needed, which actually surprised me. I was awake the whole time--In fact, even when I was sleeping I was paying attention. :)

Malcolm,
Thank you! I felt like I accomplished a lot. :)
