A Wonderful Retreat Day at Santa Sabina

Today, I went back to my old neighborhood near Dominican University and spent a day at Santa Sabina, a retreat center. It was such a wonderful day of meditation, prayer and reflection. This center is only one block from the home in which we raised our 3 daughters. Santa Sabina so beautiful with an interior courtyard and gorgeous gardens all around the building. It was really a treat to be able to spend some time there.

I spent a few minutes creating a quick sketch of the fountain in the center of the courtyard. There were pots of flowers all around and wonderful blooming vines and trees. Spring is really here.

I came home all refreshed and renewed. Thank you God.
