On Vacation



By the time you are reading this, it will be the first day of my vacation.   I'm hoping to leave work a little bit early, and get on the road.  I am hoping to pretty much escape reality for a while.

You see, I desperately need a mental break!  I haven't been out of town in over two years, due to money, and my job constraints at my old place of employment.  This is going to be my time to recharge my batteries.   I will not have a set schedule that I have to stick to.  I don't have any plans that are set in stone.  I don't have to set an alarm to wake up at a certain time.  I will be away from stress for a few days!  Basically, all I want to do is relax! I am needing to get away from the feeling of "having to do something,", so I will be taking a break from the blog until the middle of next week, when I am back at home.

The weather report says that I will have constant rain for most of the trip.  At first, this bothered me, but I am so looking forward to getting away, that it doesn't matter.  If I want to do something, and it's raining, I can play in the rain!  I loved doing that, when I was a child. It might be fun!

I am hoping for a day of sunshine so that I can go to an amusement park, ride rollercoasters (I'm an addict), and act like a kid.  Hopefully, I'm not too old anymore!  If that is all that I get to do, then, I will still be happy.  If the weather cooperates for a part of another day, I may get some walking, and hiking in.

When I come home in a few days, I will feel relaxed and renewed.  I have been needing this break for a very long time, and plan to take advantage of this time to relax.

We all need some time to ourselves, to recharge our batteries.  If you are in need of a break, but unable to go on vacation, try to find a day for yourself, to do the things that you want to do, to help you relax and renew!  (I would never tell if you played hook, and called in sick to work!  After all, that's a mental health day!) Have a wonderful weekend!
 

Always remember – YOU ARE AMAZING!  Go out and make it a great day!

Today There's Sunshine In My Soul

I love sunshine!  I'm sure that most of us do.  It makes me feel happy and good inside!  With our weird winter/spring, many of us may not have seen much sunshine lately!  Dreary weather can dampen spirits and moods.  It doesn't have to be that way! It doesn't matter if it is sunny, or rainy.  It doesn't matter if it is hot or cold.  WE can be the sunshine in someone's day!  We can lift someone's spirits when they are down!  It doesn't take much effort to g ive someone a sincere compliment, or to give someone a helping hand.  You never know what someone is going through.  Simply give someone a smile!  It might just put them in a better mood, or take their sadness away.  We can be the difference in someone's day!   Help spread some sunshine around! Today there's sunshine in my soul!  Is there sunshine in yours?  **If you like this post, please feel free to share it, or to share the link to the blog!  It is with your help that I may r

What Lies Within Us

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."  - Ralph Waldo Emerson   I am a firm believer that most people do not realize how strong they are until they have a circumstance in which they have no choice but to be strong.  At that time, people do begin to recognize their strength. What characteristics and traits to you believe lie within you?  Are you strong?  Are you determined?  Are you persistent?  Are you detail-oriented?  Are you confident?   All of these things are characteristics that will allow you to succeed in any task that you wish to take on.  Once you begin working toward you goals, others will see these characteristics in you.  All of us have at least a little bit of these characteristics within us.  Maybe our self-esteem is a little bit lower than it should be.  Maybe we struggle to improve ourselves in these areas.  By setting goals and working toward them, we discover that we do have these charact

Celebrate Your Wins

Celebrations are so much fun!  There are not enough celebrations in our lives!  Only we can change this! We each have big goals that will take a while to accomplish.  What we need to think about, is that we accomplish smaller goals every day, that lead us to accomplishing our main goal.  Did you eat better today?  Did you drink more water?  Did you take more steps?  Did you weigh in, and the number on the scale go down?  Did you fit into a smaller size in clothes?  Did you feel good today?  Did you like the person that you saw in the mirror?  Were you proud of yourself today? Those are only a few examples of ways that we win each day!  Celebrate your wins!  Be proud!  Post them for others to see!  Congratulate others on their wins!  Celebrating these wins will make our goals seem attainable!  Celebrating with others has a positive impact, for them, but also, for yourself! Take time to celebrate every day!  Celebrate your wins!  Celebrate yourself! **If you like this post,
