From Julie:
It was Saturday - getting toward the end of packing up - and we were exhausted, sweaty, and kinda cranky.
Nicole was losing it...like trying on all the old Halloween costumes from the attic instead of packing.
That's when I realized, we are so
conditioned to work, work, work - especially when there's so much to do.
Just push through it, right?
Bullshit....
So that's when I turned to Nicole and
said, "Hey! Lets take Monday off and go to the Harry Potter
exhibit in NYC!"
Nicole looked @me like I had 5 heads. "Are you
crazy?"
Then I saw that familiar look in her eye (I love that look! It means
something fun is going to happen). Her expression changed
and she said with a child-like voice,
"Can we?" I responded, "Why
not?!"
We needed a change of scenery and to do
something fun... within minutes our tickets were booked.
Long story short, it was a fun day of laughs + rejuvenation.
Just what we needed.
Pushing thru something, especially a big transition,
is not always the answer.
Sometimes you have to step back,
change your attitude, perspective, mood, scenery- whatever -
and do the unexpected.
And a little wingardium leviosa never hurt anyone;-)
