Treat or Retreat

Our retreat plans are well underway...we've made our lodging reservations, and I gave both Fellow Traveler and myself pre-retreat questionnaires that are an integral part of the weekend.

Our retreat theme is "Body, Mind and Soul"; our homework involves observing and commenting on both the positives and negatives of one another's body-, mind- and soul-keeping, and writing prayers for one another's wellbeing in these areas. As familiar as we are with one another, as honest as we are with one another...we both feel our anxiety-meters rising at the thought of the other evaluating us, even in a loving and helpful way. Which makes me think that this is going to be a meaningful retreat...one that stretches us in good ways.
