Earlier this week my mind wandered in two directions. After working for twelve days straight and hitting sixteen hours of work in one day I was starting to think about time away… can you blame me?

So my mind wandered to discussions I had back in July with Lee, Tricia and Cyd as were leaving the Rahr Ranch in Montana that we should organize a girls weekend in the fall, maybe the pine-scented air of central Oregon or maybe the ocean-misted air of the Oregon coast. The best laid plans just got swept up in all of our busy schedules and so nothing had been set. I was wishing it had.

Soon after I had this strange, but vivid image of me in a cozy cabin on a mountain surrounded by snow. I’m not even a winter girl, but the image seemed so real and so rejuvenating. I didn’t think about it again until yesterday morning when I found out I had won a weekend trip for four to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Airfare – paid, Rental car – provided, Beautiful eco-hotel – included, spa appointments – covered, lift tickets – check!

Now the dream is a reality, three of my girlfriends and I are going to Jackson Hole to get pampered on a winter weekend getaway. If you dream it… it will come.
