I’m grateful this week for having Friday off work and going to a girls retreat for the weekend. It was at a lake house and it was beautiful.

It was also quiet. The view from my room was of the frozen lake.

It was supposed to be more women, but it ended up being just three of us. We spent most of the weekend chatting and getting to know each other better in between thrifting and going out to dinner.

It was the relaxing weekend I needed.
