We are about to leave on vacation!! I can not wait! We are not headed to New York, or Disney World, or on some Caribbean Cruise, we are going to Sunset Beach NC!
If you have never heard of this place you have missed out! I would have to say this is my most favorite place in the world. It is a beautiful island that just makes you feel you have left the rest of the world completely behind. The sand has a way of touching your feet and saying "welcome home". The waves come in and carry all frustrations and worries out to sea. The atmosphere says "slow down, enjoy life" .
About a year ago, I was at the beach with my best friend and her children. We met this couple on "holiday", obviously they were from the UK. We enjoyed speaking to them each day. One day the lady said "Americans don't know how to take a real holiday". She was referring to the fact we take phones, computers and TV's and never really "leave it all behind". That has stuck with me since then.
So that is my goal this summer...maybe I am not even taking a vacation. Maybe I am truly going on "Holiday". I am taking books, games, kites, and I am going to take long walks every day, and talk to God, and my family. I am going to explore the island and create memories and truly leave it all behind. I need this, I know when we get back it will be non-stop until we get settled in TX.
So, if you need me in an emergency I can be located through Sunset Properties...any thing else will have to wait. I am on HOLIDAY!!!
