Life is a Bowl of Cherries

Our past week was indeed very sweet and pleasant. How can it not be when you live in such tranquil little paradise.
You start your morning with breakfast outdoors taking in not only the aroma of the food but also of the sea that surrounds you.
The kids are free to roam without a care in the world, except maybe a little pinch from a crab.
Parents can sit back, relax and enjoy. The grown ups were not the only ones relaxing.
Reading was one of the boys favorite past time.
Who do you think enjoys this the most? The boy snoozing in grandpa's lap and cuddling with grandma? Or the adults who get to hold their precious grandchild?
Dinners were had around a big family table and the food and companionship was savoured.
Throwing rocks can be highly entertaining On the morning of our departure, the skies were sad as well, cloudy with rain after a full week of sun. It did make it a little easier to leave.
It was a week of filling up on the sweet part of the cherries, but a cherry also has a hard pit, and that's what I'll be dealing with this week. I'm thankful that God gave me the reprise and rest I needed, and I know He will give me the strength to deal with the pits as well.
