What a wonderful weekend away with my two loves. This was our first actual “family” vacation— just us three. I think the images speak for themselves but we had a wonderful time. It was my-kind-of perfect: laid-back, sans makeup, sunshine, lazy beach days, catching up on sleep, building sandcastles, lots of snuggle time, poolside reading, yummy seafood and just good, quality time together.
If you’re like me, you make very little time for white space. My day is packed full of to-do lists, phone calls, errands and appointments. I always feel like there are never enough hours in the day to finish it all, and then 4pm rolls around and I don’t know where the day went.
So…I’m trying to make more time for the “white space” in my life…to say “no” to a design project when my plate is too full, to stop trying to be everything to everyone and everywhere at once…because that white space is so critical to balance and joy. That white space is where the things that matter happen and where our relationships grow.
Well, our little 4-day getaway was definitely full of white space! It was a relaxing, quiet, non-event-filled, long weekend—which was just what we needed. How nice to slow down for a little while and let time stand still.
