It’s a beautiful day. Eighty degrees, sunny, quiet but busy. Really just beautiful. The kind of day where your chai tea tastes perfect, you hit all green lights and everyone you encounter is in a good mood.
Except you.
You are going through a let-down, a salt water withdrawal. You download and upload your seven hundred photos in hopes of reliving the entire thing. You email with friends, reminisce about that sunset and that key lime pie, and somehow, try to catch up with reality.
You know it’s right, this feeling. You know that there’s an important balance between everyday work and your escape. It’s just right now, you have a very skewed idea of what that balance is.
So today, merely the third day back in reality, I think I’ll make mahi for dinner and key lime pie for dessert. I’m already back, there’s no reason to rush the rest of it.
