VACATION & VALUED
What we all need from time to time is a vacation from life; time away from the day-to-day grind to recharge and refresh. Vacations don't always have to be this ridiculously planned, scheduled down to the minute getaways. You don't even always need to leave your home. It can simply be taking a few days off to do something you enjoy or to accomplish something on your to-do list that you can't during your regularly scheduled work week. Because we go to the Outer Banks in July, I know I'll have some real estate work to accomplish while down there. However, the simple freedom of knowing I can't possibly show houses because I am hundreds of miles away, makes it easier to handle. Then we have the beach, going out to eat, and time to just sit and read.
I don't think anyone can place a price on the importance of feeling valued. Knowing you're appreciated, knowing you're loved, knowing people respect and trust you is priceless. It's important to show each other how grateful we are that they are in our lives and for how much they do for us. One of my favorite quotes is this one, because even if people can't see your value, your value is not diminished. It may be a struggle to see that, but it's true.

My favourite vacation spots are beaches or quiet retreats.
I feel valued when people share something with me, when they reach out to me for something, etc.

Getting a couple of nights away every now and then with my lovely wife is paradise.

My ideal vacation would be when I have enough time to read, with no chores involved :)
I enjoy beaches, too, Pradeep. Dino, I hear you. We have been trying to plan a short getaway for two years now. I can understand what you're saying, Damyanti. Sometimes I just have to ignore the housework and read.
Thanks for visiting today, everyone!
I'm going to see my mother in the Philippines in two weeks' time, yay! beaches, sun, sand, friends and family :)
That sounds like a lovely trip, ladyleemanila.
