On Saturday, my hubby went out to the mailbox to find something from Walt Disney himself. Okay maybe not.. but some of his very close colleagues at Walt Disney world. We are leaving for Disney world in 32 days and I couldn't be more excited. I'm really not sure I have EVER been more in need of a vacation than right now. So when this thick envelope with our names and The Incredibles on the front came in I tore it open and there were baggage tags. I was so excited I said "LOOK DAVID ARE YOU EXCITED?!" and after having been with me for over ten years he's used to my ease of amusement and replied with a big goofy grin (as he has to really work at showing his excitement) "So excited." After sharing a laugh over my silliness I got to thinking about why I felt like I needed a vacation so badly. I think it's a personal issue of having trouble saying 'no'. Not sure where to draw the line of separating what really needs to happen and what is just white noise.
So, growth moment, I never want to feel this way again of needing a vacation so badly I literally hear the clock saying tick-tock tick-tock, and it still feels like forever away even though it's barely a month out.
Why is it that we allow people who either a.) we don't care for very much, b.) don't care about you, c.) have not real investment in your life.. the list could go on, why is it that we allow those people to dictate our lives and what should be important instead of investing that precious time in our family, or spouses, or close friends and the like. We as a society have lost sight of what is truly important and have given way to the greed for money, fame, fortune, and bosses who don't care. I truly believe that if we invested more time in our homes and in people instead of trying to make an extra buck (and believe me, I have a business to run so making money is important) but I also know it's not the most important thing. My faith is. My husband is. My family is. THOSE are the things that keep me warm at night and that I can count on beyond a shadow of a doubt. The money and career will fade in time as does all material things; but, my faith and my husband are the most important things, that will not fade, they are the reason for living.
Don't lose sight of Who is important, because in the end, everything else fades away and leaves you empty.
Happy Monday, ya'll; it's going to be a great week :-)
