Welcome Respite


I've been in Hawaii for one week, and it's been a welcome respite from everyday concerns. Reuniting with people whom I haven't seen for decades has been the highlight of my trip, but it's almost been as nice not to have to open my day-planner or check e-mail and voicemail messages every couple of hours.

The freedom to take a nap, eat whatever or whenever I want, play golf, see a movie, or do absolutely nothing at all is liberating, even intoxicating. It's good that I'm going back tomorrow before I'm swept away.
