re·ju·ve·nate (verb)

It may be all the beautiful weather, or all the vitamin d I have soaked up from the sun. It may be from all the fresh air. It may be from the fact that I get to spend the day with two wonderful boys. It may even be that March Madness starts tomorrow, but I am feeling so rejuvenated that past few days! I think it is probably from all the good "hang out times" I have had in the past week. Small group last week was wonderful, a real girls night. We made dinner, did our Bible study and then watched a favorite of mine Ten Things I Hate About You. Then on Friday my sister and I went to her friend's house and had Chinese food and watched a documentary on Israel. (we also had a few very good laughs) Sunday was really the start of all the nice weather, so we enjoyed dinner outside and then huddled around a wonderful outside fireplace with blankets. I could have stayed there all night. And then yesterday I spent a few hours with a new friend and had great conversation at a cute, little coffee shop.

Needless to say, I have enjoyed my time with new faces the past few days. I am learning that quality time and conversations are important to me and are a source of refreshment for me, so the last few days have been very refreshing. But now, I am off to play outside...
