Sarah here :
Happy Friday! It’s the freakin’ weekend baby I’m about to have me some fun. How is it possible that a hit song from 2003 runs through my head every single Friday? Do you have a Friday song? Maybe share it with me. I need a new one. Believe me I *never* actually play R. Kelly’s Ignition, but you better believe it’s on repeat in my rumination brain every weekend. Eeek!
I digress. What is all this fun I’m about to have? I’m headed to Vancouver today! It’s my first time ever and I’m still in disbelief that it’s going to happen. My bf presented the idea a month ago and at the time I was so stressed at the thought of it, a vacation during a vacation?! How could I afford that? Then I realized the true question was how could I justify that? Isn’t that what we spend so much of our precious time and energy doing? Justifying.
We justify our spending whether it’s time, attention, or money. We justify our words and our actions. We justify our decisions. What if we all just strived to come from a place of truth that felt right and good and just to us? Then could we chill out with all the justifying? I’m trying it on for size. After the intitial, ‘OMG, I can’t afford that and I don’t deserve that!’ conversation, I called back and we planned the trip. We’ll be camping and hiking and surfing our holiday weekend away and it’s going to be swell.
Have a good one friends!
