As you read this, I’m probably lying on a beach thinking about you at this moment.
Well, the first part could be accurate, but I doubt I’m thinking of you.
No offense.
My wife and I leave tonight to fly home from a quick little vacation with just the two of us. Although it is actually Tuesday, February 17 as I write this (I schedule my posts in advance, in case you were wondering), I’m assuming we had a good time on vacation!
In my opinion, vacations are critically important to long term sanity and quality of life. By vacation, I don’t mean that you have to take an exotic trip every few months just to “get away from it all.” A vacation for you may just be taking off a Friday and a Monday from work and enjoying a 4-day weekend at home. It may be going on a day long road trip to some place you’ve never been before.
Whatever a vacation qualifies as for you, you need to take one.
But Grant, the economy is bad and I can’t take time off and….
You can come up with a lot of excuses for why you can’t do something, but…
If you wait until the conditions are perfect to do something, you’ll never do anything in life.
This principle applies not just to taking a vacation but to life in general.
So go mark your calendar to take a vacation. Take a few days off and schedule to do something that breathes fresh life back into you.
