Reasons Not to Skip Your Vacation

A vacation has a way of cracking open my way of thinking. It allows me to be more fully myself because it shows me how very many ways there are of being in the world. I can choose my own way of being because I see there isn’t just one way to do it.

A good vacation boosts my appreciation of home. It opens up the world a little bit, makes me appreciate the grass in my front yard, the scent of my sheets, the apples in my fruit bowl. And it makes me swear I will never eat another French fry or hamburger ever, ever again for as long as I live.

We have just finished a vacation like that. We’re a little sunburned, a little tired, a little closer as a family. Our floppy-eared dog is happy to see us.
