Just what the doctor ordered

A prescription is written for rest and relaxation ... not necessarily from Doctor Northfelt (even though he did tell me it was the perfect time for me to do it), but it was written by Dr. Eric Williams. On a last-minute vacation to Hawaii. Friday, we boarded an airplane with Kaitlyn and Brian, and now I write this sitting on my bed in a beautiful condo on the Island of Oahu. I had only a few hours to get packed and ready. My stress and anxiety levels have been so high lately that this was just what the doctor ordered. 

Brian has never been to Hawaii, and it's like watching a child open his gifts on Christmas. We were sitting in an ocean-view restaurant in Waikiki. Brian was staring out at the ocean when he jumped up and said: "I'm going to put my feet in that water," He ran off. We watched him run as fast as possible with no shoes on to the ocean water. It was so funny to watch him... Eric was looking at him like he was crazy. I thought he was so dang cute, and Kaitlyn was watching him like she had just fallen in love with him for the 1st time. 

Brian woke up before the sun came up yesterday and rented a surfboard. Brian is one of those kinda guys that are good at anything he does, so we knew he would be good at surfing ..... and he was. Brian went snorkeling for the 1st time too; listening to him describe the fish he saw was animated and fun. I told him he needed to get some sunscreen on, but he decided to wait until after he went snorkeling for the 2nd time ...... you see where I'm going with this? Yes, he is a lobster today, on the 1st day of vacation.

Dr. Northfelt believes that stress in your life feeds VILLAIN cells, I'm almost done reading the book he suggested, and I will post more about it later, but I am feeling less stress and trying not to think about the VILLAIN while I am in Hawaii.
