YAY!
My sister and her husband came for a visit…
It was wonderful!
While they were here…
It rained a little, was cloudy some…
But mostly, the sun shone…
However, every day the same question…
“What’s the weather gonna be?”
“I don’t know,” I’d say, “look outside.”
But they were bothered…
Kept checking their weather aps.
I told them…
“I live 23 miles south of Playa del Carmen…
And 105 miles south of Cancun…
So the weather between here and those places…
Can be very different than what’s on your ap.
“Relax,” I said…
“You’re on vacation; enjoy being unplugged.”
Our excursions included beaches & cenotes…
Shopping, eating, and just major fun…
Always though, when we came back home…
CLICK
On went the TV to a U.S. news channel…
Or the obsession with Facebook and emails.
“Relax,” I said…
“You’re on vacation; enjoy being unplugged.”
And I had to keep redirecting the conversation…
Away from U.S. politics.…
And comparing the U.S. culture to here in Mexico.
“This is not the U.S.” I said…
“They do things differently…
And it’s OK, it’s their country.”
* breathe * breathe * breathe *
I told myself.
They’re new to paradise.
So?
What about you?
Do you take your same mindset…
Wherever you go…
To a new or different place, setting, or country?
Or can you embrace the difference…
And really unwind, relax and unplug…
Not only your electronics…
But your mind?
Always,
Em-Musing
