Is there a better time than vacations?

Getting away from what you have to do and doing what you want to do with the people that you love.

You could write about one single vacation. The freaking fantastic trip that was just so much fun. You got lost and laughed about it. The one meal you will remember for the rest of your life. How the hair on the back your neck stood up as you looked at the Sistine Chapel, Half Dome in Yosemite, crystal clear waters in Hawaii, the  perfectly calm lake you had all to yourself, the coffee you shared with wife on the beach you had to yourselves or looking up at the skyscrapers in New York City. Share the joy and happiness of those vacations that touched your spirit and left deep memories you happily carry with you all your life. 

Vacations reveal a rare and wonderful side of your life. You are out of your routine. You are exploring the far reaches of the earth and of your soul. Be mindful of what you are experiencing in these special places. Vacations provide a very special time to find new Personal Truths – you like lonely beaches, you seek a little thrill or sense of danger, you like row boats better than canoes, you like looking at the surf better than swimming in it, you love talking about how to grow love in your life and you can’t stand talking about politics. It does seem like changes, such as a change in location, lead to additional changes like finding a new thought that makes you very happy.

Take ten minutes out of each vacation day to journal a few thoughts. Just the fact that you commit to writing some new experiences down will help you be more mindful and more observant of the new things you are experiencing.
