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,
