Another tax season is done, and we are excited to be getting away to just BE! I'm not sure why, but life seems to get in the way of just being: to let the everyday issues of life to distract us from who we really are and what we want in life.
I remember the first time, we took off to just BE. We were in the midst of a super stressful situation and we just needed to get away to regroup and think about our future. I'm not sure why, but we fixated on Greece. It was the first time we had traveled to that part of the world and also the first time we just took off without any plans. It was an amazing six weeks and it changed our life; we met some amazing people and it was the beginning of our extra ordinary life of travel.
Now after our life being derailed by COVID, and a few other responsibilities we are off again on another unique adventure. For whatever reason, we have fixated on Spain, and like our first getaway, we have booked our first three nights and then . . . well, we will just have to wait and see.
I've always loved POOH Bear. He is an example of a simple life of just BEING. In his "walk in the woods" it states:
When we're grounded and at ease,
We can wonder where we please.
With our senses as our guide,
We can let our thoughts subside.
And then while away the hours,
By the stream, among the flowers.
And that is what we plan to do in Spain. After some time visiting the kids and grandkids, we will arrive in Madrid on May 14 and wander as we please for the next four weeks. I hope to blog about our journey and invite you to in join us as we "wander."
