Vacation

"A vacation is nothing to do and all day to do it in." -Robert Orben

Summer vacation is coming to a close. Back-to-school ads are common. Educators think ahead to their classrooms and schools. Students enjoy their last days of leisurely living.  There is still time to "just be" during this summer

I think back on my mini-vacation to the Jersey shore with the grandgirls and

 
sigh with happiness!


During these last weeks of summer, I pause to reflect on what vacation means and how I can savor the last weeks before Labor Day.
Vacations, whether they are full weeks, mini-trips, or just day trips, are for dreamers, wanderers, and all who desire a change of pace, time to live in the slow lane, and "just be".

  1. This is a lovely line: "Vacations, whether they are full weeks, mini-trips, or just day trips, are for dreamers, wanderers, and all who desire a change of pace, time to live in the slow lane, and 'just be'."

  2. Carol, the nice thing about vacations is that they can be long or short, miles away or out our back door. Any time we can get away from the the reality that bombards us is a getaway. Enjoy the rest of your summer.

    1. Yes, everyday life has its to-do lists and vacations are a way to forget about what must be done to concentrate on family and ways to relax. Your comment is absolutely right, Bob.
