After a hiatus, I am back. Hopefully a much stronger version of myself than I was before my self imposed time out.
To the surprise of a few people, I took off for a weekend, completely without prior planning. An action like this is so unlike me. I am not a plan “months in advance” kind of gal, but usually a week or two ahead is more my speed.
During this time away I did a lot of reflecting. I stepped outside of myself – realized a lot about myself and my personality and I reintroduced myself to my inner child. Who doesn’t like to randomly hop in the car to swim in the ocean after 9pm with a best friend who keeps you laughing? Ya, I needed that time. I can never thank you enough…you know who you are.
I am a helper, a fixer. I want everyone’s life to be the best it can be. If I could fix whatever is making someone’s heart ache, I would. But Alas, Poor Yorick, I can’t. With that being said, we “fixers” aren’t used to being on the other end of being helped.
Life can get way too serious at times. When that happens, we all need to take a break – a step away from our regular environment – a mini vacation. It works wonders for our souls.
The vacation we often need is freedom from our own mind.
