This weather has me wanting to curl up in bed with my sketchbook, the new House Beautiful (which I haven't opened yet), and Three Cups of Tea (the book I'm currently reading & probably will be for the next few months because I'm an extremely slow reader).

Even if I had that luxury, I don't trust myself to execute the plan with the temptation of the computer, television, and phone at my fingertips.  So, I'm packing my bags (in my imagination, of course) and taking a silent retreat.  I've never been to Green Bough House of Prayer, but my mom & several of her friends love it.  I've tried to go on the spur of the moment a few times, but they are always booked.  Sounds like a really cool place and I'd love the challenge of being silent for a couple of days.  And that would be a challenge.                                                  

Even though I'll be bouncing around in the rain today, I'm going to channel the peace from this morning's mental vacation.  Happy Weekend!
