A Week Ago....

A week ago I was on an island, basking in the sun next to the pool, gazing at the ocean, drinking cold bubbly with people I love. How nice it would be to return for just a few hours to watch the shade shift across the pool; sit on the veranda with family and a Greek Salad; study the dolphins swimming near the shore; evaluate the level of tanning on previously light skin; nibble on cheese and fruit in the cabana; cool off in the refreshing pool; contemplate where to eat dinner, and determine the best place to watch the sun sink into the Gulf.

Vacations are necessary to keep one focused on life. Vacations should be required every four to five weeks. Vacations are connections to the lives of loved ones. Vacations are rebuilding and retooling one's spirit. Vacations are under-rated.
