Vacation All I Ever Wanted

Here's the thing about going on vacation - you don't know how much you needed it, craved it, until you're there. Until your feet sink into the hot sand and your skin soaks up the rays of Vitamin D and your children's squeals of beachy happiness fill your head. You don't realize just how far down you've been until you feel the wind whipping through your hair as you four wheel down a beach in a muddy jeep you wish to hell was yours to keep. You can't see your tracks, where you've been, until you shift into the next gear and find something new.  

Here's another thing about going on vacation - you have time to think. Time to sort things out. Time to consider closing down your little space on the Internet because it's not really moving you forward in any meaningful way. In fact, you realize it's a pretty self-serving way to spend time. You don't have anything mind shattering to say to the world. But maybe, if you start listening more, the world has some mind shattering messages of its own. You want to start listening more.

Here's the last thing about going on vacation - you eventually have to come home. But you come home with your mind and spirit in a new place. And you know what you need to do to keep them there.

Happy spring, peeps.
