Vacation with a Purpose

People have different agendas for vacations. I remember growing up, my dad and I went on vacation with a family friend and his grandson, David. We went to the Disney establishment in Florida. I think we should have known better. Nothing good can come from Disney.

Anyway, this friend was a typical Type-A personality. Every waking minute was planned. And most minutes were waking minutes. He liked to be on the go constantly. Lord have mercy, it was tedious. The man did not have an "Unwind" button.

There's the opposite of course, doing absolutely nothing. I'm not in favor of that either. I think a vacation should have a purpose. But when I work 49 weeks out of the year serving someone else's purpose, I think on vacation, I should serve my own. I even think Mr. Harry deserved the vacation he wanted. I just didn't want to share it. Fortunately, that was the last time we did.

I'm enjoying mine. As you and your family plan cookouts, reunions or family vacations to the Statue of Liberty, the Biggest Ball of yarn in Idaho or the ancient steps of Malta, seek a vacation that serves you. My wish for you is rest and restoration.
