I love wrapping vacation around holidays. I only had 4 days off work but it felt like a lot more. YAY! It was a vacation about friends and family, those are the best! I saw things I've never seen before and done things I've never done. Last post, I talked about laughter and that was a huge part of this vacation. I hope I don't stop laughing just because I'm going back to work!
When we got back from our short trip to Leavenworth Hubby had to go back to work. For one day I hung out with our two good friends and then just one for a few days after that. I had to swear that if I blogged about this time I wouldn't name names. We had so much fun! Some things like Pike Place Market are no brainer tourist activities that I can always enjoy! We visited Jimi Hendrix's grave site which was different and fascinating. One morning my friend was talking about seeing the Bothell Chicken and I was confused. We googled it and then I felt silly. The chicken stands tall on the highway that I drive on frequently, so often that I had stopped seeing it all together. I never really checked it out so it was fun! What a great time! I don't remember promising not to post pictures so here it is with my friend who shall remain nameless:
As you know, my life is about balance. This vacation has shifted my balance again. I feel different then I did before. The negativity about work has become glaringly obvious and that is something I can change. My desire to expand my life in a different direction has become glaringly obvious, although what that means is not 100% clear yet.
Here's my conclusion: When you step out of the normal routine you shift your perspective. Most times, I shift right back to the day to day grind and routines poor attitude intact. I'm making a commitment not to slide back into the same old frame of mind. I'm going to keep some momentum going if it's the last thing I do!! I'll let you know how it works...
