Hello lovies! Writing to you from HOME. Not my traveling home, but HOME home. {deep breath} Let this be a little deeper post than normal, but when I first started this blog, I chose the name, The OP Life, to share truly meaningful things that are ON PURPOSE in your life. I tend to stray from deep subjects because I’m passionate about so much more, but today, it’s the deep meaningful stuff. So here I am with something very true to that.
Ahhhhhhh…. Being away for so long I think was JUST what I needed. Away from home, away from the rest of the world, away from responsibilites. I think we all need a break, a chance to push the RESET button, a chance to get RECHARGED.
The lightbulb came on for me when I realized early on during my vacation that I had NO idea what time it was, what day it was, and frankly, I didn’t care what the answer was for either of those questions. It was SOOOOOOO refreshing!
So this brings me to this, yes, it allowed me to refresh, get recharged, and reinvigorated, but it made me think of what’s important to me. We get one shot at this life we have, right? We go thru all the s**t that we do day in and day out, running here, there, EVERYWHERE. And we’re exhausted. Wiped out. Pooped. And again the next day, the same thing. Spreading ourselves thin. As thin as can be. That would be me. I like to say “I WEAR MANY HATS”. That would be me. I don’t have to open the scroll of things I do, but I do a lot, and I made the executive decision to be good to ME. And if that means I must say no a little more, that’s ok. I’m good with that. Because I don’t want to ever have regrets…. with time with my family, with time with loved ones, in things I want to accomplish and be and do and experience.

Have you had the chance to push the REFRESH button? You don’t have to be gone for a summer to experience what I experienced. But make a “getaway” so your mind can be free of everything. You don’t have to go to a foreign country to experience this, but just find a way to mentally get away. (of course going far far away never hurts! HA!) But somehow, find a way to escape, decompress, and recharge. I think this is something we all need to do, and do it again and again every so often. I hope you’ll make the same discovery that I made…. to be true to you.
