Iron Gate at Chaindon Church
It had been a long two weeks, and my nerves were frazzled no end. I could feel the tingles crawling over my scalp as fatigue overtook me; the double espresso I'd just downed having really no effect at all.
As I drove home from the hospital, my eyes fell upon this ancient church I've long wished to visit. High up on a grassy knoll, half surrounded by towering, regal trees, it stands as a beacon... but of what I couldn't say. I found myself turning left at the intersection, driving up into green fields and pulling the car to a stop. There were people at home who needed me - but at this moment, I needed me more. I needed the silence of wind whispering through trees, the eery calm of an empty, seemingly desolate cemetary.
I will share more pictures with you this week - snapshots of an inner revival and utter peace.

It does look like a peaceful place and the iron fence is charming. I hope is well now for you.
Some lovely thoughts to explore.
I'm glad you found some solace in this place. Hope things are better today.
PS -- I did get the horse vase at the green jello thrift store. I couldn't stand it any longer! :)
So happy you took some time for yourself. It's very important time, for you and for those who love you.
Sending you positive thoughts and a big hug!
Sorry to hear you are having problems:( Yes, sometimes we all need time only for ourselves
You do well to stop and catch your breath and calm your mind before heading home to care for others.. I hope you found a bit of peace in your 'me time'.. Alli. May all your prayers be answered soon.
