Post Vacation Reality Check

I just finished a lovely 10 days off...it was full of sun, fun, and plenty of quality time with people I love.  We had time to take walks, hit the gym, read, swim, have meaningful conversations and to just be still in the world that often seems full of chaos. 

A few moments of relaxation:

 

 


And here we are now at Monday...and seeing how I can't retire anytime soon...my priority is going to be to try to make sure I have at least some tiny bits of vacation joy in every day.  Now just to figure out how to accomplish this... I'd love any of your ideas - please share!

What I'm Reading and Listening to:

Podcasts:

We listened to podcasts a lot while driving on vacation.  Mostly we caught up with episodes of my favorite morning radio show: The Bobby Bones Show.  It's something we both agree on and gives us plenty of good laughs.  

Books:

As usual I've read several books since I last updated this blog (because well, I'm a pretty inconsistent blogger these day ...)... you can check out everything I've read on my goodreads 2019 challenge page but here are a few highlights...

The Amazing Adventures of Diet Girl by Shauna Reid

I finished this one while on vacation.  Based on her blog - this was funny, and inspirational all in one- a pretty long read though -- at least it felt that way - I was reading on my kindle so looking back I don't really know how thick this book was.

Girl Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis

I've had this downloaded to my kindle for a while but while on vacation I was leisurely watching some morning TV and she was interviewed on one of the talk shows.  I had just finished a book so it felt like perfect timing... I'm just really getting into the book but so far I am really enjoying it... stay tuned :-)

Let me know what you're reading, watching, or listening to - or your favorite way to make everyday feel just a little like vacation!   I love recommendations! 

Peace, Love, and Paw Prints,
