Getting away from it all

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.
