It has been said that all good things must come to an end. That is certainly true of vacations. Today is back to reality. But even as I am experiencing the "reentry" that comes after a vacation, I am feeling renewed and refreshed.
For the last few years, vacation has meant sitting in a beach chair with my toes in the sand, listening to the sounds of ocean waves crashing onto the beach.
This year we decided to do something different, and we headed for the mountains.
When we were at the beach last year, we enjoyed the exploits of Pete the Pelican.
This year we followed the adventures of Dudley Duck.
What a relaxing week it was. No particular agenda. No appointments or doctor visits that had to be kept. No chores to be done.
Just relaxing. Laughing. Talking. Making memories together. A week of giggles and snorts and belly laughs. The sounds of love. The sounds of family.
Now it's back to "real" life! Yet even as I'm faced with unpacking and sorting laundry and putting things away, there's a smile on my face.
Relaxed. Refreshed. Renewed.
It wasn't just about the location. It was about the people.
It was smiles and giggles and laughter. It was conversation. It was together. It was family.
Family. One of life's greatest blessings.
The vacation is over. But the memories will last a lifetime.
More happy than my heart can hold.
"Bless the LORD, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless His holy name." (Psalm 103:1 ESV)
