A Summer Vacation - Pause

When traveling home from any family trip I try to capture every memory possible in my tiny pea brain. I want all of us to remember these times for later in the year or years to come we replay those moments, laughs, smells, and sounds of what we took time and energy to do. We can pause and enjoy time away.

My lovely wife Marie can see this picture of herself and know that the waves and sky she was gazing at was a moment of work that was erasing in her mind - easy on the eyes as a smile beams on her face. Casual in heart, mind, and spirit - we all need a pause. Why do we struggle so much, worry when we need not at the work and life left behind for this slight pause? It really pays great dividends when we do this, and in so many ways.

Pause today - remember your vacation from years gone by, or even from last week. I bet you will recall giggles, sounds of your life, even moments of silence just being together. Yes, there are always some stress - but that takes back seat to other front seat riding. I love it!

Ready for my next Pause ... where to now?
