Celebrating Vacations and Home
Today is my last day at the beach. I'm always surprised at how much I yearn to go home at the end of a vacation.
Don't get me wrong, I adore the beach! The ocean. The sand. The sun. The cool breeze. The waves. Peace. All of that is why I come back again and again every chance I get...but, I love my home too.
Waking up and writing morning pages at my desk. Walking Bella. A cup of coffee from my own coffee pot. Reading a good book. Just BE-ing.
Today I celebrate vacations. I celebrate the beach. I celebrate family. I also celebrate home.

Home is a special place, isn't it - and we seem to feel the tug of it most when we are on holidays. Your beach holiday looks wonderful, Michelle, so glad that you had a great time.
ReplyDeleteI've loved seeing all the pics from your beach time, Michelle. But when it's time to get home, I am ready, too. It's rather like a warm hug surrounding when I get there. Enjoy your last day!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya! So many wonderful people and places out there, but there's no place like home! :0)
ReplyDeleteFun to travel, but so fun to go home to a place we love. Enjoy your last beach day and then relish some time at home before school starts. It's hard to keep track of everyone's school schedules, but I hope you'll have some down time to just enjoy BE-ing before the beginning of school.
ReplyDeleteHave your written a post about your morning pages practice? I'd love to know more about that.
DeleteRamona, I haven't. I will. Thank you!
DeleteSafe travels home. I've enjoyed seeing and following your time at the beach. Here's to Bella and Home. :)
ReplyDeleteThis refelcts a well balanced life I think, full of appreciation. It is a blessing to be thankful. My students arrived back to school yesterday. SO I reflecting this attitude as much as I enjoyed summer break (times of just BEing🙂) I am , also excited to be starting a new school year. It is a challenging priviledge to be a teacher!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. I've love when I'm away on a vacation, but then home is such a welcome sight! I think that's a good thing. Glad you had time in the sand and sun!
ReplyDeleteHome is where the heart is but I am glad that you are having a wonderful vacation, Michelle.
ReplyDeleteI love vacationing too but I am always ready to be home. I didn't get to the beach this summer so I have been enjoying your photos. It's a virtual get away for me!
