I think I've got the right medicine for what's ailing you and I'm gonna share!

To heal your mind and spirit is a wonderful thing.  Every once in a while you have to leave behind the stress of everyday life.  Make a clear plan and pencil it in your 2022 calendar and see how life changing it can be.

TRAVEL

I’ve met so many people out there that have barely crossed the county line and never experienced the beauty in their own state or this great nation.  They have never taken the time to indulge in amazing cultures that have made us.

Traveling is I feel, is a necessity of the soul it feeds us with inspiration and broadens our minds.  I can’t imagine only having a taste for steak and tacos when there’s culinary creations that almost seem they were served up on a plate straight from heaven.  I can’t imagine never standing in a valley on an early fall morning and hearing a bull elk bugle for his mates, or feeling the soft white sand as it seems to melt between my toes underneath a fiery sunset, or the hike up a mountain to see the breathtaking beauty God has created beneath us.

Experiences and memories don’t have to cost a ton of money!  I’ve been on vacations that cost thousands of dollars and smaller trips that cost less than hundred, my point is don’t aways hold out for the big vacation.  Some of the best memories I’ve experienced and will never forget was when I jumped in my Jeep and put twenty bucks of gas in tank and drove to the state park to hiked amongst the buffalo.  Camping was another in-expensive way of spending family time and just decompress and enjoy nature.  Pick someplace on the other side of the state and do the planning in advance it will make the experience so much more enjoyable.

If there is one huge piece of advice, I can give you it’s take pictures and post!  From getting in the car to the road traveling home.  OH, and don’t forget momma!! She always seems to be the one capturing the memories and never the one in the memory.

 

Happy Journeys,

Jackie Strydom
