My therapy for the day, sadly not retail related....
I stayed home from work today - and was wondering what to do that would be theraputic for me. I decided to head to our shore rental property with my dog Indy. We will sit quietly by the water on our pier and just be still. I think that it what I truly need today - some quiet time with God (and sending some of my thoughts to Jonathan). "Our shore" = a rental that my husband has had for 25 years now - it is an old 70s trailer on some creek front property. Basically glorified camping, we have electric and beds to sleep in - it's only 20 minutes from the house and we have water access. No swimming except if you are a dog, Indy loves it there. It forces me to slow down and just relax.
Indy and I at our shore just being together, 2011:
Here is a pic of the trailer - lol, yeah you should see the inside, the 70s died in there. But it protects us from a storm, and we have electric, and comft beds to sleep in. This was 4th of July 2011.
My husband and Indy have a special bond.....sitting on the picnic table last weekend:
Sunrise from our pier looks like this:
Thanks again for all your responses

Re: My therapy for the day, sadly not retail related....
what a special place DT. i hope you find peace today. There is a poem i love that was written for someone who's lost a child. It has brought me comfort after my miscarriages.
Daddy, please don't look so sad, Mama, please don't cry-
cause I am in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.
Please, try not to question God, don't think he is unkind.
Don't think he sent me to you, and then He changed his mind.
You see, I am a special child and I am needed up above.
I'm the special gift you gave Him, the product of your love.
I'll always be there with you. Watch the sky at night...
find the brightest star that is gleaming, that is my halo's brillant light.
You'll see me in the morning frost that mists your window pane.
That's me in the summer showers. I'll be dancing in the rain.
When you feel a little breeze, from the gentle wind that blows, that's me
planting a kiss on your nose.
When you see a child playing and your heart feels a little tug, that's me,
I'll be there, giving your heart a hug.
So Daddy, please don't look so sad, Mama don't you cry.
I am in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.
hugs my friend, hugs.
You've been in my thoughts.. LOL @ the 70s died in there.
The sadness will always be there but I hope you are beginning to find peace. The pier is beautiful. I am sure Jonathan is watching over you until you meet again.
