Confessions of a CF Husband

Vacation and playing catch up...

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...........

We recently took to the friendly skies for a week on the beach. It was a fantastic week. I woke up each morning and looked out our window at the beach - without ever having to leave our bed. When I did get out of bed, I would open the door to the terrace and feel the ocean breeze and my entire being would just relax. 

I spent the week watching the kids swim and run on the beach, catch fish and surf with my Dad and I spent lots of time looking for shells. Searching the beach for shells is my absolute favorite thing to do in the entire world. It refills my spirit, clears my mind and will probably always be my "happy place". 

Being able to enjoy that week with my family helped me to get my priorities back in order and helped me to see things in my life for what they really are. Unfortunately that also meant seeing some things I don't like and need to change waiting for me here at home. It's going to take a monumental effort, a lot of prayer and a little luck, but I know if I put my mind to it, it's a done deal!

For now, I'm still basking in the glow of a vacation well spent re-connecting with myself and my family. I hope we can get away more often together this summer. Doing so is a powerful reminder of the good that exists in our family and in each member. Doing so highlights each person's special gifts and unique viewpoints. And doing so ensures that we see the good and the special and the unique on a regular basis!
