There is nothing like getting away from "life" to rejuvernate ourselves. By life, I mean the kids, the husband, the house, the work, the routine, the cleaning, the 10 million the things we do every day as mothers.
Sometimes it's difficult to get away, however, even if you can take time out just for a few hours you will often find by setting yourself free, that you will find your missing pieces.
My special friend was visiting on the weekend and we organised to go out for lunch. We chose a fabulous funky spot on the waters edge, we felt like we were on holidays. It felt so wonderful to be in her company and have the quality time without any interuptions. We were there as long life friends with our special bond.
We chatted and chatted and chatted about what's happening in our lives and how we were feeling. By the end of our two hour lunch, it felt as though we had been on a weekend away and attended a counselling session! It was theraputic, energising and priceless.
My special friend has a unique qualities. She knows how to listen, how to give advice without a lecture or knowing it all, how to be honest with me about my life and about hers. I am so grateful for her in my life.
When I returned home many hours later, I came home a new person. After a huge week of running around with life, I was relaxed and ready to take on witching hour. The husband had the house under control and the kids were happily playing with each other.
The time out was all I needed to refocus and keep on track.........
