Traditional Vacation Time - Is It For You?
I’ve taken on a Personal Development project to create a short series of videos on frustrations and challenges, addressing why career changes are sought out and some challenges when they are made. A final video will recap the benefits of creating the first 10. These can be found on YouTube as well if you’d like to subscribe.
Here’s the fourth ……
Please comment about how you incorporate ways to regenerate and recharge your "batteries" and is it enough? 
Until next time, J.

Ah, where to begin? LOL!
The last full “vacation” I can remember taking where I really did not have to be anywhere other than to make the boat over and back, was my honeymoon back in… 1982… to Catalina Island off the coast of California. That was a full week immersed in the slow going pace and a real “culture shock” when we docked back in Los Angeles.
In between, we have “gone places.” But the only other longer trip was 10 days back east to the general area of where I was born. Again, the difference between the east and west coast (where I am) and the 30+ years it had been since I’d been back there, resulted in 10 days of “adjusting” and having to leave before that really happened - and coming away with the feeling of “oh! I should have done ___ or gone ___.” Disappointing really.
The remaining time in terms of getting away has never really been “getting away” at all. For the following two decades, we did nothing but visit the in laws, taking the same roads over and over and over… not restful nor regenerating.
Hmmmm…..
As you can see your video has hit a nerve!
Oh, and you mention a person starting out with 2 weeks, many jobs start out with a 1 week vacation, only available after being on the job for a year. If a person is lucky, and doesn’t have to use up the accumulating time for other reasons, what can you possibly do with one lousy week?!
I do work at home, too, as you know. So my time is really my time to use as I please. I do spend from the time I get up to the time I go to bed blurry eyed helping other people get their marketing done. I really enjoy the work from home way of making a living. And, when I get any free moments, you will be the one I come running to to further increase my bottom line!
Thanks for giving me the space to rant

Hello Janet…I enjoyed the video. Due to your cool, calm demeanor, it actually made me slow down. This says to me that you’ve definitely traded the RUSH HOUR for more relaxation.
I’ve been working with husband from home for about 15 years. Even though I don’t really draw a salary, I cannot envision living my life any other way.
So when we take a day off, it’s usually all we need, since we know that we have the freedom to JET whenever we desire.
