Happy Deja Vuesday. Today’s rewrite is from the post originally titled, “Wiped Out and Ready For More.”
Enjoy!

There’s nothing so exhausting as a good vacation.
We closed our preschool ten days back and have been reveling in a rather loose routine ever since. This is the first time we haven’t had a house guest during the winter break. We love our usual visitor, but sharing our space during a long anticipated vacation is like getting to the front of the bathroom line, then being told you have to hold it.
It’s been difficult lately, shutting my mind off. My body is exhausted, begging for rest, but a new year brimming with possibility is on the other side of the horizon and my brain only keeps bouncing as I try to slow. I of course employ a multitude of methods, but each tactic is merely an umbrella in my brainstorm.
I count backward from a hundred, but before my tally nicks ninety, I find myself pondering a half year worth of yesterdays and twelve months of tomorrows.
I feel wonderfully wired after the most relaxing vacation I’ve ever had without passing city limits. Daisy and I ambled through long, lingering conversations; unbuttoned words born from rest rather than the ashes of fatigue. Horizons were mapped and conclusions agreed on.
Never has a New Year felt so promising, never have I felt so eager to greet it.
I’ll see you all tomorrow, and happy early New Years!

With being out of circulation for most of 17 days and my honey getting to sleep in until 6:30am everyday and his coming home earlier to spend time with the kiddos who came and went….he noticed that his spin class and run yesterday were much easier and more fun….a vacation from the routine is oh so good and sleep is the best healer known to mankind. “Words unbuttoned”….like it very much
Thank you
Happy New Year and keep up the good rest.

Hi Sean: I’m sure “Writer Dad” will continue to flourish in 2009, as well as your other projects (just make sure you don’t try to tackle too many things at once :-) ). Happy New Year!
