Life is hectic and sometimes in the rat race, we get a little lost. Over the last eight years, my sister and her two daughters and I have been going to the Texas Coast for what we call our re-energizing time. We do only what we want. No kids, no pets, no spouses, just us "Girls." Each year has been unique, weather-wise and event-wise. We laugh, we cry, we talk and talk and talk, we sleep, we stay up, we swim, we ride the waves, we build sand castles or whatever, and through it all we regain our strength to go out and meet the following year head on. Our trip time is always in September, after the kids are back in school, but before "winter" weather sets in. Today I was drawing from the memories to gain the tranquility of the time and to help me get through another week. The economy being as it is, our trip for 2009 may not happen. I'm so glad we've had the time together and will always cherish the memories. My hope is that everyone has their day in the sun, their day on the beach, their time of replenishing.
