Americans value work. But to be in balance, it is important to play as well. Play gives us the opportunity to learn new things, to practice a skill, to travel.
Having just walked on an icy street, admiring the sparkling ice crystals, I'm thinking of my vacation coming up.
Soon I will be walking on sandy beaches on the other side of the island from an active volcano. I'll be hanging out with friends in the pool or the garden. We'll be eating fruit picked off the trees locally.
The experience will be unique, that's for sure. We'll be free to relax as much as we want or to explore new places. We have no plan but to enjoy our time together.
Stress from our usual responsibilities will melt away. We will have let them go.
A vacation from stress, at the least, is a goal worth having.
