I Cherish

There are two things I cherish — vacation and holidays. I get both of them this week. My vacation begins tomorrow, and I won’t go back to work until Tuesday.

The bad news is that I didn’t get everything wrapped up today so I’m working tomorrow anyway.

It won’t be too bad, though. I’m not working all day, and I will sleep in. It’ll be a “mini” work day at home — with special emphasis on the “mini”.

After my work is done, then it will be time to have fun and relax. I can’t wait! It’s been a stressful year with many ups and downs. I need the break, and I’m looking forward to time with our family and friends.

It’s a week to give thanks and count our blessings, but today I’m mostly thankful for vacations and holidays. They are priceless gifts from God.
