Vacation

It's that time again. Time for the annual Page Family summer vacation. This year we are heading up to Canada for two weeks. The cabins we stay at I've been going to since I was about 6 yrs. old, minus a 10 year absence, which is a whole other story in itself. Last year was the first time I took my family, first time I had been back in 10 years and it was a very emotional journey for me. The same families have been going for the same time we have, so I grew up with many of the people there. Because while growing up we moved so much (once every 2-3 years) I consider these people the ones I grew up with. The only constant in my life. So the 10 year absence was painful, but I've put that anger behind me and have managed to move on.
Aside from the excitement I feel about having two weeks to spend with my family and friends, I also feel a lot of anxiety about going away for an entire 2 weeks. I'm what people would refer to as a "work-a-holic". I work when I'm at work, I work when I'm at home (like now). I enjoy work. Being away from a computer, TV and telephone will be difficult but just what I probably need. I'll also miss my horses, dogs, cats, guinea pig and rabbits, but again, probably what I need. Having nothing to do but spend quality time with my kids and husband is just what we all need!
So as for the computer, TV and telephone, I'm sure all messages will still be waiting for me when I come back. As for the horses, dogs, cats, etc, I have one of my employees, who is great with animals and very responsible, taking care of things for me. As for spending quality time with my kids and husband, I'm sure as soon as I start doing that this anxiety I feel will leave my body. I will relax, something everyone needs to do occasionally.
