It was located in a really small town of about 4,000 people, about an hour and a half away from the city. It has been my favorite experience so far this year. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ I love the simplicity of being in slower-paced settings. I find that nature models a healthier pace of life and I can savor God's handiwork. It's good for my usually fast-moving, anxious mind. And although I enjoyed only two glasses of perfect wine, I was still feeling really good y'all, okay?! Whew. Lol. 🤣😬 ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ So this is a gentle reminder to pause and to unplug as needed this week. Your mental health and wellbeing matter more than ever. Please take care of you. ❤️
