May 30, 2007, A Change Of Scenery

They say a change of scenery is as good as a vacation. It's very good for the soul; a little spontaneity goes a long way too!

This past weekend my friend's boyfriend was supposed to come into town for the weekend. My friend called on Friday evening around 5pm to say he wouldn't be able to make it. After having two full weeks jammed with activity I was exhausted and feeling like I needed a change. So I asked her if she felt like driving up to him.

Now this isn't an easy feat to do last minute considering her boyfriend lives 7 hours away and she has two small children ages three and five, and I have a Jack Russell Terrier who hates the car and it was too last minute to find a dog sitter. Her only response was, "Are you serious?" Well I was and apparently so was she; by 7pm my friend, her two children, my dog and I were on the road.

The weekend was marvelous; I was relaxed and surrounded by loving friends. All the tension from the previous two weeks melted away. There's nothing like the country air.

When was the last time you did something spontaneous?

With the summer approaching you may or may not have time for a full out vacation. If you don't consider creating some impromptu weekends away. Visit friends or family, or just find a place to pitch a tent and do something different.

A little change of view and pace will do wonders for your power of creation.
