A little Vacation

I am taking a little trip,
I just need to go away for awhile,
However, I won't be going anywhere.

I just need to get the jumble out of my head,
I need to fill my brain with original ideas and thoughts,
I will only be gone a short while.

Right now my head is swirling,
The noise from the tv is not allowing me to think,
I need to step away from it all.

I will miss reading,
But hopefully I will do more writing.

I will miss movies,
But hopefully I will take more photos.

I will miss hiding myself behind a book on my lunch break,
But hopefully I will talk to more strangers,
and encounter more interesting things.

I will miss you,
and a piece of me hopes that you will miss me too.
I won't be gone long.

I wish you fun adventures while I am gone!

Just what I needed...

Winter days were bringing me down and dragging me through the mud. Depression was setting in, tears were flowing, and my body simply ached.

However a simple two hour car ride changed all of that for me.It brought me a little warmth, some time swimming and splashing in the pool, and reconnecting with "mi vida." It was just what I needed to cure the winter blues.

Christian and I took an overnight trip to Philadelphia. We went to the Car Show, swam in what ended up being our own private pool, and enjoyed our wonderful view of the river from our enormous windows. We also went to Adventure Aquarium which was beautiful.

This simple overnight tripped made me fall more in love with Christian and learn more about him in my little made up questions game. It was really a wonderful experience. I feel so relaxed, happy, and peaceful.
