What a sweet, fun day with my dear friend! I met Sirin and we drove to one of her favorite spots. The lake was covered in ice, the wind was chilly, and the sun was warm. A perfect day for a picnic.



I didn't realize how much I needed this: a friend and the solitude of the forest; the ice on the water cracking, alerting us that spring is indeed a-coming. As I think it may be to my soul. I feel encouraged, rested, and taken care of.

Thanks, Friend, for the sharing, the laughter, and the sandwich and tea :)
