Since returning from my month-long adventure earlier this week, I have had trouble getting my head back in the game. I have made silly mistakes and struggled to stay focused (both more than usual). Everyone I spoke to on Friday had a similar experience when they returned home to their standard routine. We each have unconscious, established habits that are largely thrown out the window when on vacation. Then, when we return, it is as if our brains and bodies need to get synced back up to our old "normal." For some, it takes a few days - for others (me), it will take longer. It has not helped my case that after a month of not thinking (obsessing) about DRC (beyond the basics) - I have necessarily been tossed back into the fray. Therefore, if you see a glazed look on my face and notice that I am having difficulty gathering my words into cohesive sentences over the next few weeks (again, even more than usual, it is only because the shock has not worn off yet. In addition, my brain keeps churning out more and more ideas while I am still catching up with all the many things that need doing this time of year - plus organizing a Craft Fair/Family Fun Day. For those of you right here with me - I see you. DRC News The Sewer line repair is done, and it came in at one-half the quoted cost! Thank you to everyone who donated and sent all the prayers and positive vibes our way. The DRC Craft Fair/Fundraising event is on August 10th in Norwood Village Park from 10 - 3. Please plan on joining us for fun for the entire family including live music and karaoke, arts and crafts activities, and games, as well as a host of vendors to browse.
We have a few vendor spots open - find the registration form here.

When I used to do retreats they usually ran 3 days (Friday-Sunday) we always called this the 4th day syndrome. It was a well known thing.. you are flying high from the experience and BOOM.. back to reality... it can be jarring and disorienting, but hopefully, you can bring a little of the time away back with you into the fray.
