Take a Break

When there have been a lot of changes in a person’s life, one can find it helpful to just “take a break.”  So that is what I am doing as I write this blog.  It’s been a tough year emotionally for me, and I am finding that just by leaving the house and driving somewhere to do whatever my husband and I decide to do, gives me a sense of peace.

We decided to go to a favorite State Park that is only a short drive from where we live.  We stay at the Inn where the atmosphere is comfortable and peaceful and we can take walks in the woods, swim in the pool or sit and relax in the many places in and around the Inn itself.

The food is excellent at the restaurant inside the building and sometimes we work a puzzle or play a game in the comfort of the many spaces within the building.  Doing nothing or taking a nap whenever the spirit moves us has already refreshed our spirits and the week has just begun.

I am so grateful for the opportunity to do these things as there are many people who do not have the means to do this.  I try not to feel guilty for my good fortune, because I know how many people are finding it difficult to make ends meet.  Gratitude is essential to enjoying this gift of a peaceful time in the midst of so much inequity and economic struggle in our world.

The time to take a break is not an opportunity afforded to everyone.  And yet everyone needs to take a break sometimes.  So, as I am doing this right now, I am thinking about how I may help someone else to do this too.  I am sure I can think of something.  In fact, while I am here, I will try to come up with a way that I can do just that!
