I love how trips away can remove you from your life for a little while. I spent yesterday on a vacation from the trials and tribulations of my work, my new house, and my life in general. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that I don’t like all of that stuff, it’s just nice to be able to just put it all on hold for a little while. You can’t do that when you’re at home, or at least I can’t.
Yesterday I did exactly what I wanted. I went for a couple of long walks. I went to Bill’s Tavern. I got some Haystack Bread and I ate some of it. I played Wiffle Ball. I messed around on the beach. I had an awesome dinner. I hung out with my friends. I wish every day could be so care free.
I’ll be heading back to Portland soon and will be returning to the daily grind tomorrow. This is not a bad thing; it’s a necessary thing. That part of my life is very important and it affords me the ability to get away like I did this weekend. I will think about this weekend and remember the fun I had. It’s a memory that will stick around and carry me though until the next time I can put things on hold and just concentrate on having a good time.
