...find the escape key!
I am looking forward greatly to this summer. It will prove to be an adventure more than those past, I think. First, for a whole week in June I have enthusiastically accepted my Uncles time share which he and my Aunt aren't planning to use. It has been so long since I have had a vacation like this, wait, I've never had a vacation like this. o.O Ever. Not on my own and for myself. All the more to be excited about it.
It's south in Williamsburg somewhere and I am familiar with the area from family trips in the past which is great. It will cut down on my stress levels. For the most part I think I just want to take my books, stereo, some paper and a drawing pad. OH, and my camera of course! I have every intention of being outdoors and pressing myself to adventure with the camera. If not that then I certainly intend on finding a nice spot to sit and read or write. Far from the computer, far from work, and far from the battleground. An escape indeed. As far as I'm concerned it can rain or snow, I couldn't care less. ^_^
When I get back from that I'll have a month to prepare before camp starts mid-July. Yay! I'm a bit stressed for matters of preperation as I am not just the backup counselor like last year. One with few responsabilities other than keeping them from getting hurt. This year I have been assigned or aloted nearly ten hours of Webpage training/teaching as well as a mini-sermon of sorts and a group activity that goes along with the sermon. You have no idea how excited and nervous that thought makes me...well, maybe you do, I don't know. Lets just say that I'm grinning and getting sick at the same time.
No matter what I do in prep God will see to it in the end have no doubt and, worst case scinerio, even in failure their is success to be found. I remember last year to be so very cool and full of growth spiritually for me and even a couple of the kids. I even remember the names and faces of the kids I had, hope some of them come back this year, but for the time being I have my hands full with prep.
Aside from those two weeks it would be nice to take a few day trips to places. I'd like to take my camera to some of the caverns around the area as well as a series of individual road-side spots I already scouted out. Who knows if I will actually go or not though. I do hope that everyone reading this has some form of plan for making the best of the spring/summer seasons. If all you do is take a walk just around sunset every now and then to appreciate the atmosphere or stop to smell some roses if you prefer, just do something please.
