vacations erase

the best thing about vacations is that they erase

They erase the life you know, they erase habits, they erase routine, they erase diet, regime,schedule and  things we take for granted.

Vacations shake things up and calm things down

Vacations make us aware of what we love, who we miss, what we want to toss out, what we want to bring in.

Vacations change us because they scatter us into the far corners of ourselves and erase everything we know.

Vacations let you dream differently and  breathe differently.

Vacations return you back to your life with fresh eyes and renewed spirit.

You never know how badly you need them until you take them.

I needed this one  and seem to be good after all at flatlining and doing very little. I am enjoying every minute of it. My mom and I had the chat that we always do. Click here for it

the unexpected- airport rocking chairs

If I told you this picture was taken on the second busiest travel day of the year in an airport in a major hub would you ever believe me?

yes that is us sitting calmly in rocking chairs, sipping lattes and watching the planes  take off on the runway with no crowds or any people around us at all. Bizarre. Civilized.Lovely.

Another favourite travel surprise is when a man picks me up at the airport. This man was not exactly what I had in mind. Click here
