I spent the day blowing bubbles with Wyatt, hiking, park hopping and spending time with the husband and good friends and while I was doing all this I was reminded about the other day at 4 in the morning when I had a thought…
I was blankly staring at the TV screen as my mind raced with the worries I have regarding work and a thought came to my mind that hit me with a ton of bricks.
“I should take more vacations.” simple, right? nothing profound. The thing is, is I have said this to myself a lot. But for one reason or another that night at 4 in the morning it rang true. so true it made me stop in my tracks.
I turned off the TV went to bed and when I woke up the next day, the first thought I had was…
“I should really take more vacations. like the good long kind.”
And as I was filing paper work, answering this email, hearing about that problem. I kept saying to myself over and over…
“Man, I really should take more vacations.”
By the end of my day, out of the blue, I received a text message from my mom that stated…
“Dad was able to get vacation time for June for the Zion trip. Everyone should come!”
and I replied with a simple “I’m there.”
And not only did I say yes to that trip. I have said yes to the spontaneous day adventures with friends, family and of course my son.
because man, I should take more vacations even if its just to spend a day blowing bubbles with my son.
