Joy in the Morning

Heather, Bob, Andrew, and Bree Anna bounced out of the van rather sleepily. The early morning trip to the airport interrupted a short night's sleep.

But it was worth it, of course. They were off to California. Bree Anna just bubbled as she talked about the trip and held her doll, Madison, tightly. Andrew tried to play the suave man of the world with many flights under his belt. Heather was in "task mode" and busy making sure all the details were handled. Bob clicked into vacation mode and thoroughly relaxed as they headed out.

It is interesting to think about the different ways we deal with life. When I did life coaching and used Myers-Briggs Temperament Indicator, I enjoyed looking at the variations of personality reactions to stress. A trip to California is a perfect lab setting.

Since arrival I have heard several times and each message gets more and more glowing. Vacation is good ---- we all need a break from the daily grind. But sometimes getting there takes a temporary toll... case in point: Chevy Chase!
