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!

At times like this I don’t believe there…

It was kinda nice to have a couple of days to be completed untethered to the Internet, work, etc. Given that the coming week promises to be very, very busy, it was probably a needed break too!…

  • Lack of exercise

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I have to confess. I got off the regular exercise bandwagon last month and haven’t gotten back on it. Looking back I can see the problem. I went from a vacation, straight into having and recovering from surgery, and just when I was getting back on my feet from that, I caught a mean case…
