I love vacations, doesn't everyone? I think part of the fun of a vacation is the anticipation, getting ready, looking forward to and wondering how it will turn out. Today Sherrie and her family have been gone about 10 day off to Navoou and surrounding area on a family vacation with several neighbor families. Today I am tendng Karrie's two dogs while they are up in Baer Lake on vacation for a few days. Last night Pam told me they were excited to go see Nicci in Minnesota next month. And me I am looking forward to a couple days in New York in October before I get on a cruise to Canada with some of my family.
"Vacations can occur in one's own city, in one's own surroundings, with one's family....or even alone. Their purpose is to see the ordinary from a different perspective."
One does not have to trudge around the world trying desperately to pack 13 countries into nine days. (I have done that several times, but not my favorite vacations....) What a vacation should mean to us now is treasuring some free time to reflect on what's become most valuable in our life. Helen Keller said, "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable." That is a very powerful statement, from someone blind! Life is a fascinating and amusing adventure. How exciting to get up each morning and see what life has on the menu for the day. Yesterday two very good friends came over for coffee and it took us about four hours to get all the troubles of the world settled, a very good therapy sessions........Today? Me and Marley fighting it out to see who is the alpha dog in MY house.
