Hello @ihatediabetes,

It is good to hear from you! We have missed your posts. I'm glad you checked in with us at Mayo Connect.

@ihatediabetes, that's a wonderful idea. Nothing but inner reflection and prayer. It sounds so quiet and peaceful, no stress.
sigh... how you been? I are fine. I still itch, but at least i havent been diagnosed with anything new. That's always a blessing in itself. I may try a new church tomorrow, thinking about it. Hey lady, keep it loose, Judy (Dany)

@ihatediabetes, before I retired, I went to a hermitage at least once a year as a personal, mostly solitary, retreat. I read, walked in the woods that surround the hermitage, sometimes went to hourly prayers, prayed, rested, and sometimes planned a general outline of my sermons for the coming year. I often cooked, or helped cook meals and did the cleanup. I was usually the only person there other than Fr. Arsenius. I miss those times. I hope you find it to be a good time of renewal.

Hi Jim @jimhd

Thanks for sharing the details of your retreat - it sounds like it was perfect for you. You make it sound like something we all should do.

Hello @ihatediabetes

As we are well into fall now I was thinking about your love for hiking and spending time in the outdoors. As this is such a beautiful time of the year, I was wondering if you have had any adventures that you would like to share.

I hope you and your family are doing well. We would love to hear from you!
