Good for the soul

It was my wife's birthday and as a treat I took her to Paris for the weekend. We have both been having a hard time with work and I have not been spiritually on track. The lead up to going away was o.k. but I didn't have much enthusiasm until a couple of days before. Then I started to get a spark about the approaching expreince. To cut a long one short it was everything that I would hope. The sights, the art, the food and drink was all wonderful. Even in the rain Monmartre was thrilling and our time was well used for relaxing as well as recreating. Fabulous time that led me to think how necesary it is that we find time away from the rush and push of life (even church life) because it is good for the soul.
