2010 APR 03 ~ VACATION~

I finally took two days off so I would have a four day weekend. I'm ashamed to say that I didn't know what to do with myself. I finally have to admit it ~ tears, sob, tears ~ I am a workaholic. I finally had to admit it because while sitting on the dock looking at fish with nothing to do. Since for the past two days, the two days I took off, I had used that time to wash and detail my car, clean the house, run errands, etc. As I sat there I thought, why not get a part time job. This is the first vacation I have taken in three years, and it was only two days. I have over eighty hours (two weeks) paid vacation time available. It's probably more like a month most likely, and I actually thought it would be great to get a part time job. Shame, shame, shame. I really need to take time to relax. OK, I knew change would be slow. One day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time, hell I sound like an AA meeting. So, here's my prayer. Lord Father, art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thank you for my life and the lives of my family, friends, and all your children that I do not know. Please strengthen my belief and faith, please keep me and my family healthy. May I learn through the experiences you have set before me, and my I learn to relax. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit; Amen.
