WHAT I LEARNED FROM VACATION
Susan and I just got back from a week on a boat in the southern Caribbean. I am, by nature, a learner, so I learned a few things on vacation that you might find helpful. Some of these were little things. Some, mind-blowing. You be the judge. 1. I am an extravert. Maybe that's not news to you, but it kind of was to me. My wife reminded me more than once that it wasn't a requirement that I talk to everyone on the ship personally. (especially the non-English-speaking travelers) 2. Life is better with friends. I haven't always believed this. I like my space. I like my peace and quiet. I like to be alone sometimes. But, we actually made friends on the boat. We would run into them, start talking, get lost in conversation and say, "Can you believe what time it is?". One time they found us having coffee, sat down and started chatting with us...then I pronounced we had been talking 4 hours and we probably should go eat. We did. Ran into them at lunch
