"I need vacation time..." 'Judith Whitehead' (Inspiration Monday)

"Guest-blogger Judith Whitehead lives in Amherst N.Y. and has worked in the ophthalmology field of medicine for over 30 years..." She talks today about the need to escape... Enjoy...



 "I NEED VACATION TIME TO PREPARE FOR MY VACATION..."
          I am about to go on  a vacation across the country for a few weeks; the anticipation is mounting day by day for I haven't had any time off for a year and desperately need some. 
My work days are full of responsibilities both personal and professional and I start the day at 5AM.  I have been spending the last few days making lists of what needs to be taken care of while I'm gone.  What I realized is that it takes a "village" to cover my duties while I am away...everything from taking care of my elderly parent to plant care, mail duty, clothing inventory for travel, medication stock up, travel arrangements, car / hotel rental and arrangements etc. 
My vacation will start from the moment I step foot on that plane for I will probably fall asleep as soon as the plane takes off, as it is a 7am flight...
I have found that vacations  are not restful when visiting family and friends.  Some day I hope to take some time and go to a quiet Island where I know no one and just chill-ax.
