Travel

The career path I chose as an educator has allowed me a lot of time to travel and see the world (mostly beaches and warm tropical places).  I joke with my wife that we as educators get mini-retirements in the summer to explore, learn, and experience what the world has to offer.  We don't have to wait 30 years behind a desk and then begin the journey.  The journey restarts every school and summer break!   We love the anticipation and excitement that comes with planning a vacation.  Researching all that our destination has to offer and then diving right into the food, the atmosphere, and the unknown.  Traveling is an investment that I enjoy making because it slows down the moments and it allows me to mindfully connect with a new environment while I actually get to see the bigger picture in my life.  True Happiness is sustained long after an action.  I can close my eyes right now and visualize something that makes/has made me happy and 10/10 it has to do with a moment, an experience or somewhere I have traveled to. 
Close your eyes and visualize what makes you happy!
