I'm sitting here at my desk counting down the last 1 hour and 45 minutes until I am free! Time for vacation. Time to sit on the beach, read, sleep in a tent and just be. I. am. stoked!
Mike and I fly into Jeju tonight and then we have two weeks ahead of us to really just go with the flow. We have nothing booked, no plans, just straight up aimless wandering. Oh ya baby.
While we're away I will be taking a break from blogging, as I'll be living primarily out of a tent. Taking a bit of a savasana from reality. Savasana as a pose is intended to rejuvinate body, mind and spirit. And that is exactly what I am after.
My plan is to read. The books I have packed are:
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks - which I am a third of the way through and am in love with
One Hundred Years of Solitude
Sidartha
My plan is to do yoga. I am taking my mat along with me and look forward to down dogging on the beaches of Korea.
My plan is to write. I just picked up this cute little journal that I plan on filling on the daily with anything and everything.
My plan is to relax! And not just a physical relaxation. But a relaxation of the mind. I have yet to really discover the power of meditation but I know that I am in need. My mind does not stop. Ever. And the things that go on in there, well I don't even know where they come from. I plan to make a conscious effort over the next two weeks to really quiet the mind.
And that's it! Full on super lax vacay!
Did you end up reading 100 Years of Solitude? What did you think? It's been on my bookshelf for 2 years and I don't know why but I keep putting off reading it??
ReplyDeleteI didn't read it while on vacay. I'm reading it now though, just started. Maybe it's time for you to take it off the shelf and we can mini-book club it.
