July, 2010 break
by Devon on Jul.15, 2010, under Adventure and Rest, Positivity
So, I have been saying I need to rest more. And I am going to commit to that. I also need to be more adventurous. What I want to do is take a weekend off each month and either really rest or go do something really fun. Just for me. I’m going to add a new category for Adventure and Rest. Perhaps it will grow into a travel journal? That’d be fun. For August, 2010 break I will be in Minneapolis with a friend, so I already have two entries!
Last month I took the weekend of my birthday and the weekend of July 4 off in a row. It had been my intent to take a real good rest, but it ended up not being restful at all (so it didn’t count as a vacation). Blog drama and family illnesses countered out the vacation factor. LOL
This weekend I am going to the mountains. I haven’t been since last July, and it’s been far too long. I will be going up with a friend who has a lake house and a boat. I don’t remember the last time I was on a boat. It’s been a while. I’m not scared of water. I’m scared of what’s in it. This will be fun though: A true getaway. When I get home I’ll update with details.
I hope you do something this weekend that replenishes you or gives you some sense of gratification. xoxo

I hope you have a great time in the mountains. I’m sure the lake you are going to is beautiful. I have always thought the Blue Ridge Mountains were gorgeous and very peaceful. And don’t be too scared of what’s in the water. Most of those creatures are more scared of you than you are of them, and they won’t get into a boat. Enjoy yourself and get some much needed rest and relaxation.

We’re hoping to go to the family cottage in New Hampshire this coming weekend and good G-d, do we need it. So yeah – I’m feelin’ ya dawg.
