Okay - so other than the cleaning and fun times - there are other wonderful things about summer vacation. Although I am starting to miss the kids I am still reveling in the freedom from lessons, meetings, papers, grades and discipline. I am also enjoying the great fun of connecting with lovely sisters who I haven't seen all year, who are my friends, who are visiting from far away, who are working with my on summer assignments... the list goes on and on...
This week only myself and another sister are home and a sister from far away came to stay with us and it has been lovely having her here. Next week I have workshops for school in the morning and then I'm helping a sister friend with her job in the afternoons. I'm sure it will be lovely and renewing. It is just so nice to have a break from the school schedule of things. Next week I have to wake up early each day and I'm dreading it because I have so loved this week of "later days"... meaning Mass at 8... another wonderful summer attribute.
I'm just so happy to be spending time with the sisters telling stories, laughing, playing around, working together and just enjoying one another. Community is difficult sometimes but it is also such a great gift... Thank you Lord for my sisters... even the most difficult of them.
