"Traditionally we are taught, and instinctively we long, to give where it is needed - and immediately. Eternally; woman spills herself away in driblets to the thirsty, seldom being allowed the time, the quiet, the peace, to let the pitcher fill up to the brim."
- ANNE MORROW LINDBERG-
am i the only one who feels this way at times?
like i spill myself in driblets all over the place
and seldom find the time to replenish my provisions?
i am way overdue for a deep plunge into the well.
for the next week i am going to refill my
pitcher with...
a quiet plane ride
a new book
a day of skiing with the honey at my favorite ski resort
searching for a new home at the foot of these beautiful mountains
am i the only one who feels this way at times?
like i spill myself in driblets all over the place
and seldom find the time to replenish my provisions?
i am way overdue for a deep plunge into the well.
for the next week i am going to refill my
pitcher with...
and then nestling down in logan utah with amazing, creative, lovely friends
like jeanne oliver
sweet maria simpson
and the talented julie hosley
i can.t tell you how blessed i feel to have the opportunity
to gather with such women...
to refuel.
to lift and be lifted.
to have my spirit fed.
to be inspired.
to laugh.
to eat.
to play.
to color.
to sew.
to
just
"BE".
i hope that if you find yourself in need of a refill...
that you cultivate some time to do so.
we can.t give if we are on empty.
loves to all of you!
Yay! A well-deserved time away - it is even more sweet when the time between has been filled with challenges and life lessons like you have been dealing with lately. Enjoy every minute - I know you will!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan I hide in your suitcase please? It all sounds so wonderful. My well is in need of a little fill up. I love that quote (and you too!)
ReplyDeleteChrissy I'm not going to lie, I don't know if I like the part about you finding a new home at the foot of those mountains... :( Although I do have many childhood memories of the lovely Snowbird so I can blame you. Have a wonderful week.
