I love the idea of "suspending reality"...especially, Peggy, where you said "cancer didn't exist." Incredibly powerful.<br /><br />And Jodi and Megan, you've got me thinking about how will I "refresh" and "recharge" today. I actually feel peaceful just thinking about it!

And Jodi and Megan, you've got me thinking about how will I "refresh" and "recharge" today. I actually feel peaceful just thinking about it!

Even though I haven't been officially working (for the man!), every day has been filled with things to do: cleaning an old house, repainting a room, writing a book, volunteering my marketing skills to do press & such for an organization I value... And the days just zip by. They're good days, mind you, but disconnecting from the "norm" and recharging with something else would be terrific. <br /><br />And I just came from visiting Davina's blog, which is her chapter-by-chapter summary of how her vacation is going. <br /><br />Thanks, Michelle! Not sure how I'll implement this yet, but I know I'd like to. You know, I was just thinking today that I might want to take a vacation.

Just an hour looking through shops, walking on the beach, sipping an iced tea and reading at a coffee shop, eating outside at one of my favorite lunch places. That is living the good life. Those little breaks keep me refreshed! Of course I love a trip to Maui…but in the meantime, I love mini-getaways.

One of my favorite trips was to Playa del Carmen, Mexico in 2004. I went with my two daughters (16 & 19 at the time), my sister, her husband, my mom and her husband.

…hmmm…thanks for giving me an idea for something…

oh…and my most recent week of reality suspension – May 2009 – Richard and I spent 7 glorious days in the Turks & Caicos with both my sisters, both my brothers-in-law and my mom and her husband.

(uh-oh – another idea!)

Thanks for reminding us how vacations are so needed in our lives!
