What a great feeling vacations bring. And I haven't even left my house to go ON vacation. I was thinking - does every vacation do this? And if so, why do we, or better yet, why have I accepted a job in which I am not able to find this sort of quietness on a daily basis. On some level, yes, that is my fault. True Behavior Cognitive Therapy teaches me that it is my thoughts that affect my feelings and not the other way around (ie. if you don't like something change, if you can't change it - change the way you think about it). Sounds good in theory.
I like my job but I like having time to be with my family. Emotional and mental time mostly. Sometimes when I come home I am still thinking about work or a particular client. It's a hazard of my job but it has been much lately.
So day 2. Matt and his best friend's dad put a new roof on our house! It looks great! A lot of hard work...as evidenced by Matt's randomly sunburned body parts! He's a great hubby. I took a nap as the house was up at 6am with roof noise. Then I went out with my mama. It was nice to get away with her sans Bean. I love being with Bean but it is nice to spend time with my mom alone sometimes. It brings us back to what we are sometimes.
Vacation. A lot to think about. A lot ot consider in terms of the cost of stress related to employment. It is all worth it?
I know I want my family and I to live in that picture...in the meantime - vacation!

Matt Rocks that he knows how to put a roof on! I'm impressed!! :) Meg I'm praying for you that something happens with work....some major stress reduction, or abundance in an unexpected place. Just remember...as tempting as it is to bring it all home, try to drop it off at the Avon exit. :) You can think about work and reflect on it until Avon. Then at the Avon exit drop it off, and shift your thinking to the cutest "Bean" moments ever, and relish in those thoughts all the way home. By the time you get home you'll feel refreshed and peaceful since you'll be filled with all those cute thoughts of little Ella!
Isn't avon on 390 where you exit?? I hope so! hahah...or else you were probably thinking that I'm freaking crazy talking about Avon. heehee Sorry for writing a book!
Love lisa
