Guess who got to go to the beach?

That's right. Went with "the boys" and had a wonderful spontaneous 24 hours away in peace, quiet, loveliness and sand. I was incandescently happy. Here are a couple of pictures.

Birthday party tomorrow. Countryside for the birthday. Back for a few days and then Beirut on Saturday. The life I live is sweet. I am attempting to reign in some of my self criticism, my external criticism and ease into a lovely rhythm of love, grace and thankfulness. And I am taking it one day at a time, because I am not good at doing it two days at a time!!!
