Hmmmm…well, I think I need a vacation. Mainly because I haven’t had one since 2001, which wasn’t really a vacation. It was a summer break since I was a teacher, and, necessary to keep the sanity of the staff. Never make the mistake and think summer break is for the kids. Nope, it’s for the teaching staff. So they don’t snap and maiol you one of your rug rats in the mail for mouthing off on the hottest day of the year, which coincidentally, happened to be the same day the air conditioner broke…even tho’ it didn’t really condition any air. But anyways…I need a vacation. A “go somewhere other than the east coast” vacation. I haven’t had one of those in my adult life, which is hella sad, but true. I need to be immersed in a different culture for a bit…just get away from the DC mode of life. Too much city can be toxic, and I ain’t trying’ to catch any city ailments like…bullet- it is, or something like that. Has nothing to do with lifestyle, and everything to do with locale.
I say I need a vacation because I need to not be me for a while…All so I can appreciate being me even more when I return. Right now, I know I’m blessed, and I’m truly thankful for the many blessings I receive on the daily, but…I’m not enjoying life right now. Life seems like an exercise right now.
1. Get up
2. Stretch your ass to work
3. Hold it for 9 hours
4. Stretch back
5. Rest
6. Repeat

I don’t want life to feel like a chore. Soooo, I have to figure out what I need to be doing with my life, and start making adjustments. So…I need a vacation. So I can get away from something I really want to run to…my calling, whatever that may be.
…hard to hear God above the city life ruckus I’ve gown accustomed to.

Praying for change,
LTP
