Lessons Learned From Vacation

Lessons.

Everything about life can be a lesson. My family just returned from a 4 day winter vacation, and I took note of some of the things I learned. Some are serious, some are just fun.

~I ALWAYS pack too much. Granted, I didn't know our house would have laundry facilities, but it was still too much. 

~Not only can I survive 4 days without internet, I actually enjoyed being disconnected.

~Taking time to prepare food in advance to take along is easier on both the wallet and waistline.

~Exercising on vacation is fun and comes in various forms: swimming, rock climbing, running, skiing, snowshoeing, hiking

~Skiing with my family is fun!

~Milk tastes better in a cactus glass

~Cluttered accommodations can add stress to an otherwise relaxing situation




~Placing large floral arrangements in front of mirrors makes it hard to see one's own reflection (can you see me?)

~Apparently all dressers need two lamps

~Sometimes one floral arrangement is not enough

~Kleenex can be served on a tray

 ~Too many throw pillows makes it confusing to know where to sit.

  ~Sunsets are beautiful everywhere

  ~Beauty is everywhere, we just have to look for it.
