I wrapped up my sabbatical last week. It was a nice change of pace for the busy season of life I’m in. I recall my sabbatical 3 years ago & realized it was a busy season too. Life is busy and messy and hard. So many people around me are struggling with something – health, grief, raising kids, aging parents. Taking a break from one of the most important parts of life (work) to focus on intentional rest was just what I needed.
So, here is a recap of my sabbatical and this season of life, told through pictures:
Celebrated wedding anniversary # 23 with my husband in Mentone
Celebrated 10 years with HPC!
Glamping trip with my mom & aunt and their church ladies’ group
Visit to see my daughter (and celebrated her admission to nursing school)
Senior night for my son
Over the past 6 weeks, I obviously spent lots of my time with the people I love. I also enjoyed plenty of walks, good food, reading & a nap or two.
During my last week of downtime, I attended two funerals, and both were individuals who are not that much older than me. That puts things in perspective quickly.
Work – doing good work – is important, but it should never be our top priority. And I am so grateful to work for an organization that focuses on people and allows me and others to thrive, and rest.
