Which only makes me think that I'm not interested in returning to it exactly as it was.<br /><br />I like to think of a vacation as <u>vacating your life</u> as you know it;  leaving behind old routines and opening new doors.  On this trip I really noticed the routines and habits of my back-at-home life that are more of a burden than a joy and the things that matter more to me now that I'm close to turning 50 :) <br /><br />Here's a few of the changes I'm making:<br /><br />- a lot less time on the internet<br />- saying yes to opportunities  that just pop up.  Just said yes to a  week up in the Thousand Islands, the pre-vacation me would have turned it down<br />- focusing more on staying in touch with extended family and friends<br />- returning to the book project I started this winter.  It has nothing to do w/design or this blog but it's something I'm really excited about it.  More on it in August.<br /><br /><br />Hope you're been having a great summer.  Curious, has your vacation time got you thinking about any life changes?<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
