Week 30: ME & Time
Time goes so quickly. I feel like I am always rushing, in a frantic race with time, trying to fit in as much (work, errands, love, joy, fun) as possible before the race is over. We went on a short vacation this week, and spent four days in a small rented RV. If I'm being honest, I'm never really relaxed at home. At home, I look around and see all the work I need to finish. All the messes I need to clean, all the projects I need to start or finish, all the things I need to organize. Being on vacation allows me to just "be". I love to read, but I very rarely read when I'm at home, due to all those other things I feel I should be doing. On vacation I can read. I can go four days without wearing makeup and hardly combing my hair. I can get up before my guys, slip out wearing the clothes I slept in, and walk to the fitness center to work out, not caring who sees me. I can snuggle, laugh, play games, tell stories, eat outside, and spend time reading Garfield comics with my sweet 9 year old on the over-the-cab bed. I never regret taking vacations. To me at least, vacation time is always time well spent, regardless of where we go or what we do. It is time spent together, and that is my favorite place to be.
