As I’m writing this, I’m sitting outside in a Florida room, by the pool, which is in front of a lake listening to birds chirp near green, green trees and palm trees. I am seriously living the life of my dreams. I don’t know how I got this blessed in life, and I have no intention of saying “Look at me! See how awesome my life is!?!” It’s more to say how wonderfully grateful I am to have this experience not once, but 3 years in a row! And to encourage you that no matter what your vacation is—weather a month, a week, an hour, 5 minutes—to take time to unplug and forget about Instagram, Facebook, and what’s for dinner, and just sit still for a little bit. You will find more long-term and short-term benefits than you realize.

Now, take a deep breath. Hold it. And let it out.

And have a great day.

    Thanks for such a nice post, Linda! At the moment, I’m squeezing in breakfast, coffee and dishes while the baby sleeps. And yet, I also am so grateful to have this time with him off from work. I just need to remind myself of that when he’s fussy!

    yeah, the tough moments always seem to come, no matter how much you get what you want. and it’s so hard to remember to be grateful in that moment. i think that’s when those moments of silence help us see the big picture and how wonderful life is.
