Today, I’m grateful for: A home away from home
Today, it was hot. And with a high-risk pregnancy limited in activity, there were pretty much only two options for today: Sit inside, or sit in a pool. We are so very blessed to have some close family friends who have a beautiful pool that has served as our summer sanctuary for years. So we decided to give it a try, and see if we could (safely) manage a relaxing day at the pool.
Dan graciously managed Calvin as I spent the majority of the day sitting in the pool relaxing in the cool waters as the sun warmed my face. And it was everything I needed. Being in a safe space that brought the same comforts of home, and also offered a small sense of normalcy of what our summer would typically be like. Relaxing in the pool, chatting with friends and enjoying a warm summer day.
I’m so grateful for this home away from home, and a summer sanctuary that offers a small slice of normalcy in a time that feels nothing but normal.
