My card for the day was Retreat (perfect card for the day)


it said..Spend time alone in quite thought. Clear your mind, and focus on your truth and priories. Are you pushing yourself to hard? The angels remind us that rest is a natural cycle in everything. Think of the mighty oak tree that grows in spurts and then rests. It draws nourishment from deep within the earth and takes time before growing upward again. It is important for you to nourish yourself with spiritual and emotional food. While you are resting, take time to reflect on your true hearts desires. Desire to make a difference in the world.

Create a memory book of the past summer with photographs, ticket stubs, memorabilia, quotes, family jokes, poem, or anything else that reminds the family of fun times. Create a summer nature journal, detailing a
