I found the definition of vacation to be very interesting.
Merriam Websters first definition: : a respite or a time of respite (short interval of rest of relief) from something.
What if we used our short intervals of rest to provide a moment of rest for someone else. Or even just a moment of not worrying what they will eat today. Or even just a moment of warmth, whether that be physical or deep in their souls. Or even a newfound hope.
Enough with Hawaii and Mexico. We've all been there and done that, right?!
Why not visit a place that will take your breath away with both beauty and pain, joy and suffering?
Why not meet some people that will change you forever with smiles and kindness and love?
Why not go somewhere a little further away that gives you a glimpse into what 'home' could actually be?
Why not go somewhere that has not only sunshine and beaches but also $.50 cent beer, 'happy' pizza, and fried crickets?
maybe go somewhere that you can lend a hand or an ear
somewhere that changes you from who you are into that person you are wanting to be
that person that feels incredibly alive
that person that knows they have a purpose
Why not?
