IT'S TIME
/Take a vacation... if just for a minute.
Slow down to take a look at a flower;
chat with an old friend;
close your eyes and imagine something wonderful;
read a few lines from a good book;
make some popcorn (...with extra butter).
Take a vacation... if just for an hour.
Gaze into the morning horizon and wonder what's out there;
take a walk with your spouse and hold hands;
relax in an overstuffed chair and page through an old photo album;
try to count the stars and connect all the dots;
read the newspaper from cover to cover.
Take a vacation... if just for a week or two.
Play golf, ski, swim, shop, get a massage;
go out to dinner and try new foods and revisit old favorites;
tell stories to your family and friends about the old days, and days yet to come;
watch an old classic movie and wonder about the brilliance in every line, in every scene;
sleep late, plan nothing, take a long nap on a chaise lounge chair poolside by the waterfall.
Take a vacation. What are you waiting for?
...it’s time.
Until Next Friday,
