Life List #41-Take a meditative retreat.

Thursday morning-Fuel up.  Purchase prerequisite Combos and Diet Coke (no cherry, *sniff).  Head out on Highway 64, which I pick up about a mile from my house.

It is perfect road trip weather.

I decide to follow Highway 64 to Hendersonville.  Though if I had known it looked like this--

and that this would go on for about 40 miles, I might have gone a different way.

But there were lots of pretty scenes out my window.

After several hours (the extended scenic route took longer than expected), I arrived at the Billy Graham Conference Center (The Cove). 

In a setting like this, it was easy to feel uplifted.  I had a perfectly lovely retreat and left feeling better in mind, body and spirit.
