In today's hyper-busy world, with pressures from all sides, I consider it no small feat that we were able to bring seven sisters in from busy jobs- and busy lives- to a weekend of sister fun.
Karen joined us, too, making this a full-on sisterly gathering.
We took turns making meals, ate in Glen Rose once and managed to schedule in all our regular sister gathering activies: star gazing, hot tub soaking, river walking, poetry reading, singing, walking, all important water ballet, and even built our own sister cairn just outside my driveway.
Now I have a reminder of the wonderful weekend everytime I leave or come home.
No shooting stars in the night sky were more appreciated than the ones we saw! There is something about shared joy that makes it exponentially better. I was tuckered out after everyone left, but found myself smiling all Sunday afternoon as I put towels from our swimming adventure in the washer and dishes from our home cooked meals into the dishwasher.
I am already looking forward to next year!
