Around me, travelers stumble about sleepily. Maybe, like me, they are taking dramamine. Or perhaps missing that one hour of sleep last night really made a difference. Airports can sometimes be a good place for people watching, but these folks look mostly bored and hungry.
It's spring break, and I'm flying south. I'm looking forward to feeling the sun on my skin, seeing flowers blooming, and having a whole week of quiet time to work on my book. I've been working on this manuscript for two years now, and I'm really ready to be done with it. I'll be getting together with a friend early in the week — and I'll probably do at least one outdoor tourist kind of thing, like visit the botanical gardens or the history center — but then I'm going to a retreat center to spend five days in silence.

Enjoy the break!! I know I'll enjoy mine.
May it be a productive week for you. We're on the same spring break schedule. I'm going to try to get a lot of work donw, too, without the silent retreat.
You're not by any chance going to the Weymouth Center in Southern Pines, NC, are you? I lived down the street from it before moving to Maine.
I used to wander the grounds, daydreaming about being a writer and secluding myself in its loveliness to practice my art. I didn't even want to be a writer, I just wanted the privilege of being a guest resident there. :)
Have a good & productive trip, jo(e)!
Grace to You: Nope, I was at Ignatius House Retreat Center in Atlanta.
