Gone But Not Forgotten

One week has passed since returning from our Oregon vacation. Life as usual has taken new root as it usually does while still needing attention in clearing the usual weeds. Getting readjusted to "life as usual" after vacationing is never an easy thing for me. I suppose I'm no different than most in that our vacations tend to be what we wish our everyday life would be and that is what makes returning to reality difficult. I often think how fortunate people are to live in a state surrounded by the splendor of God's creation and wish I lived there too. I usually brush off any thought of relocating and starting over-perhaps making a living doing something else on the basis that it's a wild absurd idea. The idea just seems impossible until I realize that if it was impossible-how do all these people manage that are already there? Hmmm.... It's always been my style that when I know I should do something and lack the courage to do it, that I intentionally put my own back against the wall. By doing this I've always been left with only one choice; to get out of that circumstance one way or another. Things worth thinking about.
