I almost feel the point of vacation is to occur a little internal turbulence in order to spur a reset. Not travel, but a “getaway” vacation seems to have this effect.

We deviate from our normal routine for several days and thus evaluate it, seeing it from a different perspective. It makes it all the more stark when doing so in a serene setting, one completely different than our normal environment.

I can take many things for granted, including the privilege of “going on vacation,” but am grateful for the opportunity it affords. We have this one magical life experience given to us…what will we do with it?
