Vacations Are For... 2

Hello there all,

Last month,  you may recall that The Mister and I were going to go on a vacation in this post.  Welllll,  we are currently Basking in the glory of a three day weekend in Eugene (more on the blog later this week). Vacations are such a powerful thing that can really help it in the middle of a burnt out rut.

Last November,  I posted this article which has inspired me to post a reminder on why we need vacations to force me to do this more often.

Vacations are for letting problems melt and forget about burdens for awhile.

Vacations are for gaining perspective on what really matters in life.

Vacations are for making memories.

Vacations are for going slow and being in the present.

Vacations are for new adventures and chats about old adventures.

Vacations are for seeing beautiful things and eating delicious things.

Vacations are for learning about yourself,  the ones you love,  and things that you love.

Vacations are for regeneration and renewal with those that you love.

Vacations are for...

Hello there all,

Being on vacation is just what the doctor has ordered for sometime.  I feel lucky to be able to finally do this thing.  Sometimes,  we need to remember to buckle down and take care of yourself.  Without stopping to breathe and relax,  you miss the ability to live. When you are in a career where you are helping others constantly,  you need to step back.  When you take care of yourself,  it allows you to take care of yourself AND others better. I need to remember to take these moments more often.

Here are just a few shots from this vacation:

Vacations are for eating delicious food.

Vacations are for seeing beautiful places and doing beautiful things.

Vacations are for doing what makes you smile.

Vacations are for sleeping in and staying up late.

Vacations are for not checking the clock and forgetting what day it is.

Vacations are for seeing cute animals.

Vacations are for being quiet in one moment and loud the next.

Most importantly: Vacations are for being with the people that you love.
