I think I was somewhat successful at experiencing a holiday! We arrived on the island on Saturday and I did not leave the island until the next Friday. Here is what a day of holiday looked like:
7:30ish- got up and made coffee
7:40ish- retreated to the front porch with my book and mug of coffee
8:30ish- spent time with various family members
11:30ish-headed out for an afternoon on the beach
sometime before dark- we returned had supper and rested from our relaxing day
I have to say I did not feel totally exhausted returning from holiday like I usually do returning from "vacation". We read, rode bikes, fished, crabbed, shelled, walked, played games, and talked. There was two answers when someone said "what time is it?"..."well, the sun is out it must be daytime" or "it is dark so it looks like night time".
A really neat part of "holiday" was how long the days seemed. It is really nice to slow down and truly enjoy the beautifully created earth and the God who created it all.
