This Is What Grounds Me
There are times when life is so busy....
full calendars...
days filled with activity...
long lists of chores...
busy-ness.
What grounds me is this...
My friends keep my feet on the ground....
my heart beating steadily...
my blood pressure low...
They give me their undivided attention,
their warmth, their comfort, their affection.
And with this, life slows down again.
They always know exactly what I need.
It was a whirlwind weekend...
Saturday was filled with a craft fair in the quaintest of quaint small towns,
And Sunday, a bridal shower for Amanda.
My time with my friends was short, but sweet.
I will be making up for it throughout the coming week, however!
I did find a little extra time Sunday morning to bake these:
Hot buttered soft pretzels....recipe from King Arthur flour.
I have to tell you...their recipes are always the best,
with detailed instructions...
absolutely fool-proof!
Oh, so yummy!!
