“Just living is not enough… One must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.”

“Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to reform (or pause and reflect).” 

“Life is not what we’re chasing. Life is what we’re leaving behind in the chasing.” 

When all you need to do is do something different than your normal routine. We are so caught up with the pace of our own lives that, sometimes, we never – pause – breathe – and think.

I grabbed one of the books and all I did was sleep, swim, eat, read, and repeat. 

Our brains are overloaded with information, distractions, and solicitations on a daily basis. So taking a break, being alone, at the risk of being bored, is a great opportunity to help our overloaded brain relax.  

Wandering in your own mind. Exploring the limits of your own thoughts and imagination.

There are holidays where one explores and then there are others – where one relaxes. Oman was later for us.
