The Mindset

"Every day I allow myself a few moments just to be."

The vacation mindset is truly a great one. To not worry about social media or checking emails, getting up early or feeling guilty about having ice cream every night. Though I had kind of wanted to get up early and partake in the beach yoga class that was mere steps away from where we were staying. Perhaps if it were a longer trip I could have managed, but the luxury of sleeping in beckoned.

In addition to all the walking, we also took advantage of all the Citi Bikes - there were so many locations they were just so easy to hop on and go for a ride. Especially helpful when we'd walked much too far in the opposite direction. Granted it would have been cheaper to call an Uber, just not nearly as fun.

Being in Miami made me long for a life where daily bike rides along the water, with the bright sun and the cool breeze, could be a reality. But that is just the vacation mindset. Even if I lived there I know the minutiae of the everyday would likely keep me from those rides.

As we start to get tiny glimpses of spring here in Connecticut, I need to try my best to go out and enjoy it as much as I can, it all slips away so quickly each year.
