It’s Always Nice to Get Away

This past weekend being a three day holiday here in the US, not to mention also my birthday, we took advantage and took a little road trip down to Lexington, Ky. With everything that life throws at us on a day by day basis, it was very nice to get away and do something different for a few days. Instead of focusing on work, and other things we “have” to do each day, it was quite a refreshing break to simply spend a few days exploring, taking photos, and just enjoying each other’s company.

I highly recommend taking the time to enjoy today every once in awhile. It really helps to put life in perspective, and allows you to come back to the every day stuff with a renewed energy and healthy attitude!

  • Quick Thought #21 – Stark Differences in How I Talk To Myself

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    I failed to notice that the restaurant only offered pickup orders until we sat around, wondering why I hadn’t gotten any notification about our food being on the way. It had been sitting there, getting cold, waiting for us to pick it up for at least 20-25 minutes. We quickly hopped in the car to get it; all the while, I apologized over and over to my wife, berated myself internally for not noticing and screwing up our dinner, etc.

    When we got there, I ran inside only to discover that the restaurant only had one meal, not two. Part of the order had gotten cut off, and no one caught it until I got there and asked about the second meal. The manager made things right very quickly, apologizing over and over.

    My response?

    “No worries, it’s all good. We’ve got our food, and that’s all that matters.”

    And then I got back in the car, telling myself that this whole mess could have been avoided if I had handled ordering correctly in the first place.

    What is wrong with me?
