Retreat! Retreat!

A pretty picture showing we received some much-needed SNOW!

Week 6
There is nothing like both of us having a bout with Covid to make us retreat into our home - for days - and in the dead of winter. Can you say CABIN FEVER? This week there was not much going on but retreating. Work on the barn is minimal while the concrete cures. The barn's only visitor is our contractor Patrick who comes from Durango to change the propane tank for the heater that is keeping the barn warm.

And what about that word RETREAT? It can mean falling back after a failure, or it can be a withdraw to rest, recharge and maybe learn something new. One of the reasons we are renovating the barn is that we hope to host nature-oriented retreats. Or camps. Or gatherings. Or reunions. What the word is doesn't mean as much as the purpose or the intended result. And while we are on our self-imposed "health retreat," pondering the benefits of a real retreat (or whatever you want to call it), just feels good. 

Here are a few reasons to consider a retreat in the warm (hopefully Covid-free) months ahead. 
* Retreats have long term benefits because you bring a purpose and intent to them.
* Retreats provide a break from your daily routine. 
* Nature can help you unwind.
* You are in the company of like-minded people with shared interests. 
* You have access to professional guidance. 
* You don't have to worry about planning.
