I just returned from a week long self imposed “Spring Break”. It has been a hard winter here in the Mountains if you have been following me. Last week I realized that I had a week that didn’t have much on the calendar and might be a good “get away week”.
So I loaded Isabella (my four year odf beagle in the car) and took a drive. For me finding time to spend on the road is a good thing, it reminds me that we need to drive to get somewhere. I think that is true for our lives and our recovery. My time away gave me a sense of clearing, not that I wasn’t too far from my thoughts, as a woman in recovery I never am, but I found that my thoughts weren’t as clouded as they have been.
Even though I have returned to the lodge and had to get a fire going again this morning I feel revived and ready to tackle the next 6 months of business. I am wondering when you allowed yourself time away recently. When you left did you try to stay connected or really escape? Are you feeling like you are too old for a spring break? I would say you aren’t and maybe you just need to let the kid out in you to enjoy.
