The Cheapest Vacation EVER!

Take a little laugh break! Listen here (~4 minutes)…

TODAY’S LAUGH: I read this advice on a blog: “Can’t afford a vacation? Let your mind wander.” Hmm. No airfare. No vacation wardrobe to buy. No expensive diet plan trying to lose weight to look good in vacation wardrobe. No huge restaurant tabs (after I realize I’ll never see these people again, so who cares how I look in the vacation wardrobe).

I realized that the cheapest vacation ever is letting my mind wander. Then I realized that I’ve been “vacationing” like that for years – every day!

TODAY’S ENCOURAGEMENT: We did take a real vacation awhile back to Honolulu.Hawaii palms Anytime I want to, I can open the photos of that week and let my mind wander back to those blue skies, sandy beaches, and swaying palms. In an instant, I’m there. Paradise. My Happy Place. And it’s an instant lift for my winter-weary spirit. A wandering mind can be a wonderful thing!

So where does your mind wander when you give it free rein? Find the photos, or close your eyes and remember. Let your mind wander to that happy time in that special place. Give your weary spirit a lift today.

Or maybe you need more today than a little mind wandering. Maybe you’re overdue for a real vacation. What step can you take today to make it happen? Maybe a little online research? Asking for the time off from work? Just taking that step will lift your spirits.

Gotta run now–my mind is wandering off without me. Mmm, that pineapple! Ahh, the waves…the warmth…Aloha, paradise…

    From Brenda: “I know what you mean about Hawaii. Our daughter lived there for 8 years so we went every winter-when she moved I could just go to the tanning bed and imagine myself on the beach. Now tanning beds aren’t safe so I just go there in my mind!! I love your today’s laugh…” (Yes, mind wandering is safer, as long as you’re not operating heavy machinery at the time… :-) MP)
