Vacation day from work resulting in a chance crossing of paths with an old friend (Frank) and a chance to catch up for a few minutes. One of the few persons when around, where I've ever been able to laugh often and freely. Walked away with a huge smile on my face which was noticed by several strangers causing them to react with hellos and return smiles.
People think it strange ..... They say, why take a vacation day on a Wednesday? I say, "Why not!!" It cuts the work week in half. In my mind that's just as valuble to the attitude and soul as a three day weekend. especially if you manage to go out for a nice lunch (which I did). One of my motto's that I live by are the old Warren Zevon words: "Enjoy Every Sandwich."
A vacation day to celebrate making it through the first month in the new year of this life. As good of a reason as any.
I always feel like I've been away for a long period of time when returning to work after vacation. Even just one day of vacation. It's strange but I always feel like I have to enter the building with a little caution. (If that's the proper word to describe what's going through my mind.) Like I've suddenly lost my welcome status and become an outsider.
