I will not die an unlived life I will not live in fear of falling Or of catching fire I choose to inhabit my days To allow my living to open me Making me less afraid More accessible To loosen my heart So that it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise I choose to risk my significance. To live so that that which comes to me as seed Goes to the next as blossom And that which comes to me as blossom Goes on as fruit. --Donna Markova

Vacation

What is it about being on vacation that allows us to truly relax? Why is it that doing absolutely nothing while on vacation is healthy but doing absolutely nothing while at home is slovenly? Is it the change of location...the fact that we're literally x miles from all of our responsibilities that allows us to really forget all of our deadlines and worries for that short period of time?

Something to think about, I guess.

I, however, just got back from vacation and frankly all that reading, swimming, riding go-karts, screaming on rollercoasters, sleeping, and relaxing wore me out so I'm going to bed early tonight.
Goodnight all, Katie

"If you learn one thing in life, let it be to how to cherish. Cherish this moment, this day, yourself, the ones you love, and the things you can do because you will not always have this moment, or this day, or the ones you love, or be able to do the things you can do today."
