Years ago, Jarrod helped me check off an item from my bucket list:
Be on an island for my birthday.
We took a cruise to three islands. My favorite stop on the cruise was Cozumel, Mexico because it really transported me to “island time”. Island time is when the concept of real time, a month or the day of the week, slips away and all you are is this moment in time. I remember walking through the city area, after snorkeling, and seeing tons of Christmas decorations and saying to Jarrod, “WOW- they really embrace Christmas in July, how cool.” After looking at me like I lost my mind, he reminded me it was December, the day before my birthday.
We are coming up on the height of the season where running around becomes second nature and your every minute is living to the calendar. Where is the next party? When is the next sale? Or how many cookies should I bake for the cookie exchange?
What if you attempt to live on “holiday island time” one weekend during this crazy holiday season that is upon us? Pick a day and plan something fun with no obligations or time tables.
Happy birthday to you my friend. Glad you are enjoying your own time. 💕
