Sunset in Canyonlands National Park.
I saved up my vacation time all year so that I could have two simultaneous weeks off for the holidays. Matt had some time too, so we got to spend the entire vacation goofing off outside. Interestingly, it took me a week and a half to chill out enough to forget about work and everything else, so I could finally enjoy myself completely.
Canyonlands National Park, especially the Needles section, did the trick. We stepped out of the car and onto the Slickrock Foot Trail, into a solitary landscape, and I could finally breathe deeply, relax, and simply BE.

Jasmine Lieb used to say, “We’re human
beings, not human
doings!” Why should an idea so simple be so hard to implement in life?
