The Un-Retreat Retreat

If you ever fall into the trap that a retreat has to be work, then you haven't un-retreated. Last weekend I was in Alexandria, MN where I did nothing but drink exorbitant amounts of hot tea :), sleep, catch up with my friends and their life journeys, and walk around in the snow by a huge lake. Oh it was gloriously refreshing!! The funny thing about taking a break is that you don't realize how badly you need it until you actually take the break. It was like water to dehydrated food; like nectar to a hummingbird. I highly suggest it for everyone. And let me add that The Farming Game is a great way to unwind and pass the time.
