Happy St. Patrick's Day (if you're reading it on the day of posting). I couldn't leave this day on written on, specially since I finished my own Spring Break. So I thought, "Hey, why not write something connected to my experience?" From that thought, here we are.
Vacation. By preconceived definition you would say it means a period of time, generally two days to perhaps a month, of nothing but relaxation and recreation. Most of the time, these 'Vacations' are had in an area of warm climates or tropic conditions; this is the norm. However, just as many times you could say they are held in frigid areas in a 'lodge' or a 'cabin'. Never the less, a 'Vacation' is held when one needs a break from a stressful routine, or when an opening of 'free-time' is available. In conclusion, a 'Vacation' is a time for fun and enjoyment… This is not my idea of fun.

Relaxation. It's a word I'm familiar with. When you're overworked, you take time off, when you take time off you take a vacation, on a vacation you relax. It's not complicated. But what gets done on a vacation? Nothing really. That's well and good if you aren't a part of a bigger picture. You could always have someone cover your work for you until you get back; no big deal. But some people aren't given that luxury. Some of us are the key to everything. Some of us have constant and never ending responsibilities. Some of us need to always be at the ready. Some of us need to be at phone 24/7 in case of emergency. Some of us don't have time for relaxation.

R n' R. Rest and relaxation. Music to my ears. Nothing beats kicking back and a restful time on a beach; or a warm, romantic seat in a winter wonderland by a fireplace. You know what? Scratch that; there is something that beats them: friends and family to share it with. Someone to bury in the sand or someone to hold when you're falling down a snow slope so you both get hurt. Ah, that's fun… in a way. But you know what beats that? A few things you can do with those friends and family… A few things that only a vacation could ever leave an opening to.

Also, go to "Littlelordesslight" who has done me the courtesy of writing my Holiday story today. Why? Because she's my assistant and she's covering my butt for once... so GO!
See you in the big times.
