Time for Some R & R!

Ahhhh… vacation has arrived!

Many years ago, one of my greatest mentors taught me that we should design our day-to-day lives in such a way that it has a “vacation feel” to it.

Not that we need to sprinkle sand beneath our feet or put umbrellas in fruity drinks on a daily basis… unless that floats your boat!

He was referring to how so many people live their lives constantly awaiting their next vacation… trudging through their daily monotony, just awaiting their next escape.

He suggested that we quit wasting the opportunity to create a fabulous life, here and now. Life is short. Each day has its blessings… whether we’re going into work and partaking in our usual routine, or we’re on a fabulous trip to a dreamy destination.

I’ve taken his recommendation to heart for quite a long time… and I feel like I’ve done a pretty darn good with it. I keep my eye on the “prize” – simple, joyful blessings, even in the midst of my usual routine. I’ve mastered the creation of “vacation-like moments”… at least fairly regularly.

BUT, lately… man, oh, man… I’ve been SERIOUSLY wanting a getaway!! I have officially met my maximum level of work, projects, pressure, expectations, and so on!

Enough already!

So… here I am, in one of my most favorite places… Northern Michigan.

Ahhhh….. about an hour before we got here, I finally took a deep breath and began to CHILLAX, as my peanut gallery likes to say!

It’s time to re-create some of that balance, peace and restoration that I’ve inadvertently allowed to get out of whack in recent weeks!

I’ll let you know how it goes!
