It's early Friday morning...my day off. But boy, do I have a lot to do in preparation for our vacation tomorrow. I haven't packed a thing yet, I need to sell my books at Half Price and find a couple more books, clean the house a little (can't stand coming home to a mess) and give the keys to the house to the neighbors. I'm a pretty light packer but it takes a while to plan what I'll need. Especially for San Francisco. I've never been but have had plenty of lectures about packing for warm AND cool weather. Even with an effective list of what to pack I always have to remember the emotional stuff to pack:
1. A willingness to relax
2. A determination to see God in the scenery and everyone I encounter
3. Undivided attention to making memories with my husband
4. A clear vision of the goal of recharging by batteries.
How many times do we come home from vacation and say, "I need a vacation from my vacation". I doubt that that's because we are physically tired from our activities. I believe it's more because we forgot to actually take a vacation from our everyday worries, concerns and expectations. It's a time to just be in the midst of new scenery and redefine our place in this life. I hope to have many new revelations during our time in San Francisco. Please tune in to this blog during the next week...now, where are my binoculars???
