Being on the road at 3:15 a.m. to drive 450 kms wasn’t in my plans for the weekend. I had been looking forward to a couple of days to prepare myself for the following busy .
My son, Simon, and his good friends were heading for the . Due to the last-minute problem with transportation, I to drive my car to ensure that everyone could get to the point so that they could get together and their week’s break by snowboarding and skiing.
It to me on my journey that no sooner had I and said goodbye than I would make the trip , in total, a round trip of 900 kms in just 10 hours. Such a long drive in one day was frightening, as I was looking forward to relaxation.
Simon and I , on our way, a little about his break and a whole lot of his school subjects. It was great to have this time with him as we spent five continuous hours together, other than when we played Saturday cricket(板球).
On my return trip, I a strange sense of loneliness in some heavy morning . Within an hour it . I spent the next four hours listening to some CDs and enjoying the scenery. Surprisingly, after my long trip home I was refreshed and energized even though I was physically exhausted. And I knew that I would have a(n) sleep that evening.
A change in your environment, no matter how great, can provide you with the opportunity to something from different angles, as well as to be refreshed and energized.
Now I’m looking forward to my next event and many more opportunities to spend quality time with those who are to me and make my life more rewarding.
