Just before departing for my weeklong vacation at my parents' lake home, I was told by our company president that I really should try to disconnect - that I deserved a real break. Despite that, I packed up my laptop with grand plans to organize and get caught up on work while I was away.
As they say, "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." He must have gotten quite a chuckle on my behalf, because after driving more than halfway to my destination, I realized that I had left the bag with my laptop and many of my other "projects" at home. After 10 minutes of panic, I realized that I could easily replace what I really needed out of that bag with a quick stop at Wal-Mart. I also chose to view it as an opportunity to do what I was told -- to disconnect, renew and refresh.
So, writing this on my parents' computer, I'm able to connect as much as I really need to and plan to open myself to the possibilities of a week of relaxation. I'm sure I will return a much better person thanks to a little divine intervention.
