Comparing Notes
Over at Peggy's Words of Simplicity blog, she asked the question: "You are going to be taking a weekend retreat alone to a comfy mountain cabin that already has a well stocked kitchen and all bathroom supplies in place. You only have room in your vehicle for 10 things. What would your 10 things be?"
Well, this isn't an easy question for me . . . first off, I've never vacationed alone in my life - Hubby and I (and usually the family) go together. It just wouldn't be the same without him. After all, he is my 'better half' and what good am I without my 'better half'? 
But, if I had this opportunity, I guess here's what I'd take:
- a package of Chips Ahoy for the drive there and home
- a gallon of peppermint or spearmint tea
- my pillow
- extra comfey clothes and a nightshirt or flannel PJs (depending on the time of year)
- my Bible
- my sister journal & pens (My five sisters and I have a 'circle journal' going and I would take the journal I had for that month. Sometimes it's hard to find the time to write in them, and this would be an ideal opportunity.)
- a box of scrapbooking supplies to use in the journal
- a camera
- another book or two to read
- a good movie for the evening (To get my mind off the fact that Hubby's not there!)
I would have listed walking shoes also, but no need . . . that's what I'd wear in the first place! I thought it was interesting how many others said they'd bring their pillows along! I guess I'm not the only one who is partial to her own pillow!
In a way it sounds fun, but it sounds lonely too. I'm not really a "people person" but I just love being around my Hubby. He's the one person in the world I don't ever feel the need to 'get away from' or 'have a break from'!
