Times today are unlike anything we have seen in generations and we have to accept a new normal. I strongly believe in keeping control of our thoughts to maintain our mental health. As summer approaches travel plans for most have to be abandoned.  This does not mean all is lost…you can make lemonade out of lemons!  Have your vacation in your very own home.  Decide on where you want to go, visualize how  it would be and feel if you were there and then make it happen…at Home.

One of the best things about vacationing at home is the money you save.  Next, you get to design your vacation exactly how you want, from the “hotel room”, your dining experience, and relaxation area.

The next part, for me, is the most fun; gathering all the things to create what you envisioned for a great home vacation.

Once you have your home designed for your vacation, now it’s time to enjoy.  Disconnect from work and technology and step into your version of paradise.  Relax on your patio or open your windows for fresh air and sip on your favorite summer drink and enjoy some summer reading.  Have a film festival of your favorite summer blockbusters.  The ideas are endless, it’s all what you make it.
