Rejuvenation...

Rejuvenate..to make young again; restore to youthful vigor, appearance, etc, to restore to a former state; make fresh or new again.

How do we do this on a daily basis in our lives? We spend many hours worrying about aging, relationships going stale, personal belonging wearing out.  Often, we take a step back and look at our lives and how we are approaching relationships and what we can do to make them better, we go to the gym, look in the mirror for wrinkles, crows feet, etc.  

This last weekend, James and I drove over to Mazama for Saturday night.  In the daily rush of life, we rarely get hours in a row, to catch up on what's been going on, share feelings, hopes and just be in the quiet of life together.  In the four hour drive, one could feel the stress melting away from our bodies as we left the fast pace of the city behind and heading to the quiet hut and field of snow that awaited us.  As the moonlight reflected on the river, we wound our way down the road, talking about the change that our lives were taking.  I am starting a new business, as we drove we talked about the goals that I have, where I want to be in three to six months and how we can support each other in getting there.  I am doing this to start my life new again, a rejuventation of a sort, wanting to give my family a new peace in which we will live.



Wesola Polana was the perfect place to begin this journey, The small, but cozy Scandanavian  hut was inspiring.  As we bathed in the flow of the fire, overlooking the moon drenched snow field outside, I was able to find a new harmonious place in life, which will lead us down a productive path.  The simple beauty of nature reminds us of the small pleasures that we all need to find happiness.  For us, we are at our most peaceful when we are in tune with the outdoors.  We awoke in the morning to the sun reflecting like diamonds off the snow.  We walked down the path to the cafe, to enjoy a meal tinged with Spanish influenced flavors.  The espresso flavored with condensed milk and rum, the mollettes heaped with a homemade hot sauce, the roasted potatoes with tumeric and chili oil, allowed to dwindle away the morning.  There was no rush to leave, no rush to get home, we were there solely to enjoy the moment and the day.


When we finally arrived home, it was with a new sense of purpose and peace.  My hope for you all is to take the moment, the day, etc.. to rejuvenate and refresh our lives in which every way you find.
