Relief Recommends Vacation PDF Print E-mail

Heather von Doehren For those of you who don’t know, almost every editor at Relief is out-of-town this week—that is, every editor except me.  That’s right. Heather is manning the fort (haha I can blog about whatever I want!).  Ben and Kim are in Orlando. Alan is in Daytona. Lisa is somewhere in Colorado and Brad was in Louisville, KY (though I think he’s back now). So I’m here, alone, revisiting the memories of how I’ve spent my vacation time for the year—visiting scenic Northwest Community Hospital.


If you’ve been following my updates on twitter, you know that I am one of the unfortunate people who have been infected with Salmonella in Illinois this past month (hey…I ’m a statistic on the news!). And before you start feeling sorry for me, I should say that despite the agony and the constant sprints to the toilet, it was kind of nice to just lie there and be responsible for absolutely nothing but replenishing fluids. It allowed me to think of things and people that I’ve been neglecting for far too long (like that friend of mine out in California that I haven’t talked to in two years… I’m so sorry Ken!).  So, for all of you who are like us Relief folk (working constantly, that is) I recommend taking a break to just lie there and let God speak to you, reminding you of things that are far more important than work. And learn from me, if you don’t stop to take a break now and then to re-center, God will find a way to make you stop… like Salmonella.


So, in the meantime, I’m asking a favor from all you Relief readers. For me, and all the other Relief editors (I know it sounds like they’re on vacation… but no… they’re actually working while out-of-town), tell me all about your summer plans by leaving us a comment below. Where are you going? What will you be doing? Who will you be visiting? Since my vacation time is gone, I really need to live vicariously through you.


Thanks,
Heather

Heather, bummer for you. No vacations for the rest of the year?

We're going
to Coralla, NC after Labor Day for a week, that's our biggie vacation. Plus
camping for a weekend, maybe a day trip to Jersey shore.

About the no vacations for the rest of the year...I don't know. I do work for a
really cool company and if I ask they might be able to work something out for me
towards the end of the year. Here's hoping!

Camping sounds fun! I love camping!
Except the bugs. I hate bugs. Whoo hoo trees!

That's silly, the bossman will make sure you get a real vacation.

Don't go on a cruise, Heather! People get salmonella on cruises.

This year we're combining vacation with extended family time. With one
grandmother literally on her deathbed and another turning 80 and fighting breast
cancer, we're realizing the importance of surrounding our elders with love.
So... road trip! We're loading up 2 kids, the stuff that goes with them and
hitting the road for a 3,000 mile round-trip drive from Washington State to
Nebraska and back- with stops in Colorado and North Dakota.
Man, life goes by
quick, doesn't it?
