I do not like vacations. The idea of leaving my work stresses me out. Driving a long distance, spending money, and being away from my bed are reasons I dislike vacations.  

I just got back from a vacation - 5 days away. I didn't end up spending that much money, traveling long distances, and I wasn't away from my bed for that long. What I will say is that the vacation taught me something I needed to re-learn: step out to get perspective.

The act of being away from home, work, my books, and this blog allowed me to re-think my capabilities.  

• What could I do with this upcoming month?  

• What could I write?

• How could I serve people better?

I had an opportunity to recharge.

• Time outside hiking.

• Looking at and traveling to new places.

• Trying new food.

Now I am here writing to you with thousands of ideas. Thinking what will come first, second, and so-on. Consider a vacation.
