On Friday, Ron and I enjoyed a get-away day in Charleston. Our original plans were to walk across the new bridge, but the heat directed us to other things. However, we did walk miles throughout the picturesque downtown area with rest breaks in the shade or an air-conditioned space. We had no real purpose in our visit, but to enjoy the ambiance of this historical city and to find some respite in our busy lives. Mission accomplished.
The highlight of the day was visiting our friend, Ms. Nell, who has moved to an assisted living facility in Mt. Pleasant. This new residence allows her to be near her children, but separates her from her friends and church family. At 91, she finds life to be filled with God's blessings and is an inspiration to those of us who face the winter of our lives with trepidation.
A tasty meal at the River Room in Georgetown while watching the sunset ended our day. A sense of well-being filled my soul. I need to do this more often.

Amen. I agree that smelling the roses can help to make one forget that they are holding the bouquet by the thorny stems.
