Even mini vacations allow one to smell the roses and sort out key goals and objectives. I find that especially when the vacation has as its central point a body of water there are those moments when dreams and desires become more clear. Sitting in a chair and gazing at the body of the water allow moments that are not available in the hustle and bustle of each working day. There is more clarity today and the will as well as the spirit appear to be fortified for the return of all the challenges. Vacations are more than just days when we sleep longer and have a second cup of coffee at breakfast, they are the breaks in our script that allow rewriting of our future lives .
