Sometimes it is nice to just get away. Tonight I’m in Dallas on a shopping trip with some dear friends. I’ve been going on this shopping trip with them each year for about twenty years. We started when our kids we’re little. We would buy kids clothes a year in advance. We knew all the best places to go and we would buy them super cheap since they would be on clearance this time of year. We always had the best dressed kiddos!
Now we shop for ourselves but the trip is really about getting away and enjoying each other’s company. I am so thankful for old friends. I am thankful that I am able to escape the daily stuff and emerse myself in the fellowship of good friends.
I hope you get away every once in a while, whether it is a trip, lunch with a friend, a walk with your dog or some other escape. Sometimes it is the best way to put things in perspective.
