Terri's Tuesday Tip of the Week - June 20, 2023

 We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us. – Budget Travel

In the end, we only regret the vacations we didn’t take. - https://i.pinimg.com/originals/1b/c7/6a/1bc76a6423a5fd6aa1861882f0d5618c.jpg

As the author has stated, she has been covering for a coworker for the last 4.5 months.  She has not had a day off since December.  The author has given her all and is worn out.   

When the author took on this responsibility, she decided that she would have a reward at the end.  The author planned to meet a friend for a fun activity and then head to the beach. Due to unforeseen circumstances, the trip did not occur.  Knowing that the author needed to disconnect, she traveled to a new state park and an awesome lake.  Check out her pictures on her Facebook page. 

Life is either daring adventure or nothing at all. – Helen Keller

This is not the trip the author wanted or needed.  However, it is the adventure she could take at this time.  Driving through Texas, she was able to decompress and was reminded of the beauty of the state she lives in.  Arriving at Lake Arrowhead State Park, she found the lake beautiful and worth the drive.

Next weekend, the author has a different trip planned and will hopefully go to San Diego later in the year.  

The author had a wonderful time on her road trip, and she definitely does not regret it.  There are times that we just cannot go on a weeklong vacation to unplug.  Those are the times to explore and be adventurous. 

Taking time to rest, renew, and refresh yourself isn’t wasted time.  Recharge.  Choose what energizes you. – Melody Beattie

ACTION: What adventures will you be taking to unplug and recover from the stress and strain of life?
