After feeling like we were running every weekend and experiencing hectic weeks since November 1st we finally came to the end of our race last weekend with the Help-Portrait event, where we and 68 other volunteers provided family portraits for 236 families in less than 10 hours. Quite satisfying and the thank you’s we received made it all worth it.
This weekend however is ours, and what better way to spend it than in Vermont with the kids! No Internet to speak of, no cell service and 10 acres on which a 5 plus bedroom home sits. Best part; We have it all to ourselves so we are cooking a Holiday Dinner and are spending time together. Today after breakfast we went for a walk in the woods, and later headed over to the Long trail Brewery for lunch. Then back to sit in front of a great fire and play Cranium while dinner is cooking. The fresh homemade apple pie is going to taste great!
Life can get away from you quickly and you can get lost in the crazy frantic pace it can sometimes keep, stepping back to re-connect and decompress is vital to good health, mental and physical. It also strengthens ties to those we love and hold dear. It feels great doing for others, however doing for you feels good too and has long lasting effects.
This is our Christmas; living between 2 states with 2 different schedules with our children our Christmas was shaping up to be a barnburner. Not acceptable so we came to Head North in Plymouth VT to relax and enjoy our Christmas, this is our gift to ourselves.
We at Daniel P Studios LLC wish you and yours a very healthy, happy and relaxing Holiday Season! May it be filled with laughter, love, Family and friends.
