Time to Refresh
Yesterday was Family Day in Alberta, and as mentioned on Friday, we extended it to be a bit of a family week. Because my husband travels A LOT for work, we really wanted to spend some quality time together in a hot destination soaking up the sun (we are from Canada after all), sipping a few cocktails, and doing whatever our little hearts desired.
I think what’s so fantastic about vacations is being able to escape from the everyday *to-do list that often becomes an energy-drainer, especially this time of year. Do you feel it? I love that I’m able to let go of responsibility for a short time and “just go with it” (something my type A personality has difficulty doing in real life!). I feel so grateful for the opportunity.
It’s been a blast so far, and I can’t wait to bring this feeling of being refreshed back with me. Just like I’ve been getting rid of the clutter and junk in our house the past couple months, I needed to do the same with myself. Sometimes I forget about this and let “stuff” accumulate and weigh me down. Almost a week’s worth of “cleaning” and now I feel like I have the inspiration to move forward with so many projects I was feeling stuck on. Amen!
Hasta pronto,

Oh that beach photo looks soooo nice – sigh – and it’s cleaning time around here too, nice to get rid of the junk!!
Oh, how wonderful! I’m so happy for you! We’re planning our first ever tropical getaway, too. {Shhh…it’s still a big ol’ secret! Ha!:)}
Have a great time. It’s so nice to get away especially to somewhere warm!
Glad you had a great trip. This time of year we Canadians all need it for sure. Now get back to work:)
Ahhh, if only:) Glad you were able to get away.. My art teacher husband doesn’t travel so we are stuck in NJ.. And I’m over winter!
Maybe a girls’ trip is in order?
Oh what a beautiful picture. Have a wonderful time, and most importantly…bring that weather back to Canada with you! ;)
