When I don't have the beach, I have about 5000 pictures to remind me of it. And that's not an exaggeration! LOL I feel at my calmest when I'm in or near water. I spent 23 days in Mexico last month. I badly needed rest and getting away from everything. With a 9 to whenever full time job, a full time Interior Design business, relationship situations and Covid-19, it's been a long year!!! I spent the first week in Holbox Island; a small, uncrowded and quiet island with the softest white sand my feet ever felt, and about 10% internet reception on the whole island. No Lie! I spent the week sleeping, eating, sunbathing, massaging, repeat.
While I'm not advocating for traveling during the pandemic, I won't tell you not to do it either. If there is one thing I've learned this year, it's that everyone has different self care needs. While I was ok staying in the house for about 3 months when the pandemic started, (besides going for a daily walk, I even did online groceries to avoid contact with anyone) I watched others struggle badly. Noone can tell you you how to feel, especially during once-in-a-lifetime pandemic. If you do feel the need to travel, be aware that safety measures may not be as expected. It's up to you to protect yourself and others as best as you can. I'll post about the safety measures I took in another post.
We have been away for a bit, dealing, thriving and just going through the year as best as we can. How have you been doing?
