Blank Slate

I'm on vacation and my mind is blank. But in a good way. I have no anxiety I can tell you about. Nothing eating at me or driving me nuts. I'm not tormented about my work, I'm not thinking about house projects and I'm not even thinking about the many plans I need to make for the events of the next few months.

No, today I had the simplest kind of fun. I went to a local festival in a small town by the ocean. I just sat and watched the waves crash against the sand and instead of contemplating life's mysteries, I just breathed and let the breeze brush against my face.

You see, for me, that's rare. I can never just let my mind have some rest. I'm in a constant state of contemplation. Whether it be about my family, my work or myself, my mind is always working.

But tonight, I am happy to report that my mind is at rest and hopefully I will be too in a few minutes.

It didn't last long...my two boys both got up a few times throughout the night so my restful mind wasn't so restful after all.

But I still love the ocean breeze :)

Here from All Mediocre - and I miss this. My hubby and I took a couples only trip for a week while the kids were with his parents - it was so nice to have a blank slate mind.
