Nothing To Hide From
I am seriously counting down to the start of vacation the week after next. It's been too long since I had nothing to do. Let me clarify. It's not like I have been living a haired, hectic life where I am constantly in motion. This is not so. You know it's not. However I, like you, do always have an expectations hanging over my head. Things I should or could be doing. People I should be calling or projects I ought to be completing. These undone things haunt me and often stun me into frozen inaction. This is my way. Feeling overwhelmed by the opportunities and responsibilities of life is pretty standard for me. All thought and no action.
But here is the beauty part. On vacation there are very few responsibilities and tons of opportunities, none of which I am required to take. The only person I will be responsible to is Flounder, known far and wide as the most easy-going person on the planet. Thusly, a vacation is an escape for me in the truest sense. Nothing to hide from, just nothing. Bring it on.
Quote of the Day:
What do I want to take home from my summer vacation? Time. The wonderful luxury of being at rest. The days when you shut down the mental machinery that keeps life on track and let life simply wander. The days when you stop planning, analyzing, thinking and just are. Summer is my period of grace.
-Ellen Goodman
