Joining Juliet

Sometimes you have to just set life aside and honor the beauty of friendship. Last weekend I flew to Chicago to be with Juliet. We filled the time with our usual things, lots of good food, stops into little shops and appreciating each other's beer from afar. I also spent time with her husband Kevin and of course the lovely Bond kids, who are growing so fast into amazing people. I also experienced the madness of parking cars for the Northwestern football game. And we lounged on the couch as I scratched Daisy's belly. The time was restorative for me, inspiring and love filled.

 “Sometimes I need
only to stand
wherever I am
to be blessed.”
