away and back again

I've been away, and now returned after an unscheduled, spontaneous trip to the Hawaiian Islands. Not being one to just drop everything and run away for a couple of weeks, this was certainly 'out of the box' for me. I didn't have much time to prepare before I left, but I took my laptop along with the intention of blogging while I was away. That plan didn't come to fruition. Once my skin hit that warm, tropical air, it was over. Productivity took a back seat to relaxation. I did however, manage to post a few pics on Instagram, along the way. I'm telling you what, as far as worldly possessions are concerned, there is not much more I need in life than a good book, my camera, a pair of flip flops, a cold bottle of water and some sunscreen. My trip consisted primarily of walking, eating, sleeping, reading and relaxing while listening to the ocean. Believe me, 10+ straight days of tropical bliss does wonders for the soul. And, now that I've been back a few days, I'm finding it a little hard to get back in the saddle of my everyday life. But I'm feeling rejuvenated and ready to take it one step at a time. Happy to be back to my home sweet home:)
