An Amazing Vacation

© Kathy Armijo

 

I had a wonderful vacation

And didn’t even leave home

Turned on some soft music

And let my mind roam

 

I visited memories that lifted my heart

Tentatively, yet, gently entering into an unbelievable peacefulness

Barely being interrupted by the soothing cadence of my breathing

All the while letting my heart and soul plunge into a sweet abyss

 

I found strength in once again reliving His blessings

Yet, sadly realizing that I’d never fully appreciated all His gifts

And dumbfounded by a stark clarity that had once escaped me

Followed by a genuine thankfulness that I’d never been stuck in life’s ‘what ifs’

 

This exhilarating vacation

While reviving my soul

Offered me a magnificent glimpse of heaven

Making this kind of respite a daily goal

I had a wonderful vacation,
And didn’t even leave home

I think those are often the best kind.

An excellent write. Some people say "you are what you eat". I say, "you are what you think." Dr. Norman Vincent Peale's writings denote this in more ways than I can count--plus it works just like it states in your poem.

Wonderful write, Kathy; I take vacations in my mind all the time (can't afford to go on a REAL vacation)! I love that piccy!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. ;D

Lifting your mind to God frees you of all earthly anxieties when you place then in His hands, they soon are gone.

This is the BEST poem I have read in a long time. It really makes sense. Take Disney World - we sometimes try so hard to see all the attractions we miss the vacation and it becomes more like stressful time away from home. We really need not go anywhere. A good book will take us far away with no stress on our bodies. AN EXCELLENTPLAN!

Kathy, Now this is the kind of vacation I love to take daily! You my dearest friend, are one amazing woman. I am so glad to see you posting here once again, you will understand so much once you set yourself free.
Go for that zest you had before, breath in that zeal that was your driving force and live for the moment and never stop taking these amazing vacations...xo :) You deserve it!
Much peace, love, and light,
Amber "V"

Being humbled by God's great creation is the shine we need to keep smiling. I will cherish Ambers' tribute and thank God for her friendship as well. It is wonderful to be back and it looks as though we were in great company.
Love and blessings,
