Does anyone know what day it is?
I think my batteries are in need of a good charge. I have been working weekends now since mid February and I can tell it is taking its toll on me. I woke up this morning wondering what day it was. At first I thought it was Wednesday but then I changed my mind and thought it was Friday. After waking up a little, I realized that Friday is “Good Friday” so I knew it must be Thursday. If this sounds confusing, don’t feel like the Lone Ranger. I am confused as well.
I really do feel drained and need some quality rest time. I do have to work on Good Friday but I am supposed to have Saturday and Sunday off. My plans are to do a little garden work on Saturday and take the entire day off on Sunday. I will get everything ready for out Easter meal ready on Saturday so that all I have to do is pop it in the grill before church and we can eat when we get home. Sounds like a great plan to me now let’s see if I can stick to it. I use the grill like an oven because it keeps the heat out of our house.
Another indicator that I need some rest (besides not knowing what day it is) is that we got into an argument last night about vacations. This is one area where we have a difference of opinion. To me a vacation is time off from work where I get to totally rest, unwind from the day to day monotony and recharge my body. I prefer a quiet setting, somewhere in a beach or beside a pool just relaxing. My family however thinks of vacation as an adventure. They want to go someplace exciting and new and fill each minute of the day with excitement and fun.
Now I like excitement and fun, it is just that I don’t get to do much relaxing. My family suggested separate vacations but that doesn’t sound to me like a good idea either. I will just have to try to work in a little “me” time into our vacations. I am also coming up with a plan where everyone can chip in and help out with the vacation arrangements. Now that sounds like a plan.
I was curious how you all feel about vacations. What is your idea of a perfect vacation?
Well back to work for me. I will keep working and trying to improve myself and others. As Paul said in Colossians 1:29; "To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me." I feel some energy coming on.
Have a great day,
Greg

And BTW-Happy Birthday to your dear wife!
About vacations, well, you know me, adventure all the way, but in that adventure there are always rest stops!
Hope you come up with an excellent vacation plan that covers all the bases for you :)
If you check out my other blog, Wanda's World you will see this in action ~~ better yet, I should say non-action.

Loved this post, as always.
LOL:)
Hope y'all find a happy compromise!!!
And I like the adventure vacations like your family does as long as there is a couple days at the end to unwind and rest. I don't like having the constant go, go, go and then right back to work.
