Alison, I see reflections of my own story in yours as you talk about needing an excuse to be tired, or a concrete reason to rest - it is still difficult to embrace rest as the gift it is. Thank you for this beautiful reflection. You are wise to notice and name your needs in this season of parenting. Praying that you and all the others will have an amazing time at the retreat. I have a feeling Clover will be a big hit!
