July 9
I have decided that vacations should be mandatory. This is the first summer in several years that we have not gone somewhere for vacation. I miss it. My daughter took a school trip to Washington D.C. at the beginning of summer and a mission trip with our church to help with children’s ministries in Nashville, Tennessee a week after her D.C. trip. The new tires look good on the car also. That is why a vacation is not happening this summer. It seems like stress from the spring has carried over into summer. Between work, school, and life, just too much going on all at one time. Getting away recharges the batteries and makes the stressors not so stressful. I know we all come back to the stress after the getaway, but it changes how we handle it. It is great to wake up somewhere and take in the sights and smells of something different, not the ordinary. To forget what a washer and dryer are, and be so caught up in where you are that the T.V. doesn’t get turned on. Next year vacation is going to be mandatory at our house.

Sara, try a minivacation of just a weekend or so. It doesn't have to be a long one to reconnect with family and recharge. Maybe a trip to the lake or Branson? I know how life gets in the way sometimes.
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing like a vacation to make you appreciate being home! We were not planning on a big vacation this year but then one of my husband's friends had someone drop out of their fishing trip to Canada. So now my husband gets a big vacation but not me. It's a life long dream of his so I couldn't say no but I am a little sad that I don't get to go.
ReplyDeleteI think every one is hallucinating about vacations. It's like being in a desert, and you suddenly see an oasis of water. The more you run towards it, the farther away it seems. I need to go to Table Rock. I miss the Lake.
