Vacations

"You have to accept whatever comes and the only important thing is that you meet it with courage and with the best that you have to give."

Eleanor Roosevelt

As I have mentioned on more than one occasion, I hate vacationing.The idea of sitting around doing nothing for a week or 2 is insane to me. Having little or nothing to occupy my time other than hanging around, eating ,and drinking seems like an absolute waste of time. I get really antsy after 24 hours of that.

Friends and family get annoyed with me. They keep telling me that you need to shut things down every once and awhile. Our minds and bodies need a break from the stresses of everyday life. They tell me what could be better than disconnecting.

Go get a cabin in the woods and walk away from the constant grind of your every day work all day life.

Go down to the shore.

Sit on a beach chair and do nothing for hours upon hours.

Go on a cruise where you are limited to where you can go because that's the way ships are.

People tell me how much I am missing by not vacationing.

So wait.

Why is everybody freaking out now that we have to stay home?

Was I right all along?

Is vacationing not only unnecessary but actually a bad thing.

Pack the family up and supplies in the car and go to the beach or the country.

Sound a lot like hoarding and quarantine to me.

Just sayin'.

For those who play golf,sightsee, or take wilderness hikes......all still available.And talk about social distancing.

No problem. So for ll of you who get on me for not vacationing, stop the whining about the way things are right now and enjoy your vacation.

FYI...........I still don't like them.

Shabbat Shalom!
