As I plan ahead for vacations, I'm wondering how one defines a true vacation. I looked up the definition for starters:
The concept of vacation has been lost somewhat in American culture where people tend to work or attend to chores 24-7, yet studies show that vacations are good for all of us. So how can we set the stage for a good vacation--a true period of leisure and recreation. What can you do?
First, find a place that has what you like.
Next, plan activities that help you recreate.
Don't bring your work along if possible. Instead bring foods, games, sports toys, and other items that help you recreate and relax.
Leave your worries behind.
Find a way to vacation this spring, summer, or fall. That will clear your mind, strengthen your relationships, and energize you for the busy lives you lead. Onward.
