VACATION…finally!

It is Monday of my vacation week and day three here. I am home alone in my sister’s beautiful house with the sun shining and beautiful mountain scenery out the windows. It is a cool day yet outside. I am grateful to be here.

I am tired way down deep and yet my body wants me to keep moving as does my mind. It will take a spell to wind down after months on the go. Parts of me want a long nap. Parts of me want to go for a walk. Parts of me want that book and my knitting that await me.

Settling down will take a bit as my body resists and looks for something to else do…the laundry is folded, and soup is in crock pot for supper already. I knew I needed to be away from my own home to work through these ‘keep yourself busy’ moments. At home there is always something that needs to be done! Resisting the urge ‘to do’ isn’t as simple at home as here.

So here’s to V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N and unwinding and replenishing and renewing me, and to wrestling with the ‘there has to be something I can get up and do’ thinking in order to get there!

How do you unwind best? How do you resist that very idea, too?
