Reconnecting

My husband and I took advantage of spring break and headed to California. He and I had not been on a trip, alone, since our honeymoon many years ago.

We stopped off in Santa Ysabel to partake of the tourmaline dig offered by the Himalaya Tourmaline Mine.

We had a blast! We got dirty and wet; met some neat people…oh, and uncovered a few “sparklies” as well.

Our trip took us through some winding roads and beautiful landscape – we continuously spotted ‘awe’ moments shared throughout the drive.

Our trip brought us to the ocean. The ocean takes my breath away; I don’t need to be in the water, but do love to hear the waves and feel the immense power generated by the ocean, which in turn energizes me.

We also visited a rather unique used bookstore (and of course came home with some wonderful books!); another shared passion of ours.

This wasn’t just a road trip; it was a chance for my husband and me to reconnect, away from work and home, and to share moments together.

We often get caught up in work and home ‘realities’ and sometimes forget anything beyond that. I highly recommend to everyone to reconnect with their life partners – take a day trip if a longer one is not an option; enjoy the scenery and each others company.

Reconnecting with a loved one, and with the beauty of our country, can offer you the opportunity to remind you what is really important in your life.
