Plenty of people don't take vacations and...No. <br />Plenty of people don't take vacations and one big reason is that they like the normalcy of their everyday life. When I go on vacation, I have time to confront every decision I've ever made in my life... should I have left my hometown, should have I become a teacher, why didn't I..., why does she..., the list goes on. It makes my mind crazy! My response is to self-talk and tell myself that I made the decision at the time with the information I had. Then I journal how my life will be different when I get back if some changes need to be made. In my best moments, I make those changes happen. <br />No. I think you're spot on with this posting.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159558126231792964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7044166228612663288.post-634262322208022652010-08-21T10:05:17.135-04:002010-08-21T10:05:17.135-04:00Nancy... this may sound too simple.

When I truly accept the transformation of mind, emotion, body and soul that is provided by the "away time", it is possible for me to see my routine life (ie, the job, the homefront, etc) through a clarified lens. As I return from vacation I pray that I may be able to "see" with the same kind of openness and curiousity that was given as I viewed the foreign or unntrodden paths of my vacation spots. Another thing that I try to "tranpose" to my ordinary life is that wonderful feeling of "this is the only time in my life I will have this day".... so how can I absorb as much of what God is giving as possible? <br />Those are some of thoughts prompted by your posting.... thanks!
