About ten years ago I took a weeks vacation. It wasn't a real vacation in the sense that most people take a vacation. Not a cruise or theme park thing. Just some time off from work scheduled for a week. I guess I pioneered the staycation. It seemed though I was always having to deal with work in some fashion. Whether I really needed to or was it in my mind. Whatever the reason I did anyway.
So at this place I used to hang out the hostess said that she thought I was on vacation. I would tell her that I had such and such to do and had to go in for a while. Was I bragging or complaining?
So a thought entered my mind. Why not enjoy things as they are and be always on vacation. So many people have such a rigid schedule on vacation they may as well be at work. Why not try to develop a life in which you are happy with what you are doing all the time.
Every once in a while I see this women. She will jokingly ask. Still on vacation? And I just say always on vacation.
