Spring Break 2010 was a time to recharge and refresh. This year I spent Spring Break by myself. I shipped my daughters off in one direction
Too Much Time on my Hands
and I head to West Palm Beach, FL. I wanted to get away, catch some sun, most definitely catch up on some great reading and of course, check out the sites. I stayed at a very nice resort just a few blocks away from the PGA National office. No, no sign of Tiger…I believe he was in my neck of the woods in Georgia.
Each day I started off with going to the gym and working out for about an hour. I’ve gotta get my sexy back along with getting back to me. So often, we as women are all too busy catering, nurturing, nursing and concerned about everyone’s needs that we forget to take time for ourselves. Well this year, I’ve made a committee to take time for self.
Everyone I met were so friendly and when I spoke with other women and told that I had made this trip alone, many of them commented that I was so brave and one lady even said it made her proud to be a women that I didn’t need family or friends to travel with me on vacation. Actually, I had a wonderful time and who better to spend time with than yourself. If you can spend time alone with yourself, you are sure to be able to cope with others.
So what occupied my time for five days….a little shopping. I have a girl’s trip coming up next month to Aruba for the Soul Festival, so I had to pick up a few sundresses, etc. I sat by the pool and read and people watched…there were some awesome sites, youth is such a beautiful thing. Several young men from the Dominic Republic stayed at the resort with were playing in the Farm Pro League, all I can say is simply gorgeous. I meditated, watch a little TV, did a lot of sight seeing and exploring a new city. West Palm Beach is beautiful and there is a lot to see and do.
Well, I’m back in the ATL, all charged up and refreshed….time to get back to reality and back to work.
Good for you, Bianca. I, too, think you’re brave. Outside of a road trip in college to see a boyfriend, I haven’t ever ventured out like that. You’ve given me something to work towards. Congrats.
