Just chilling near gate 3, waiting to get on my plane. Haven’t done something like this in a very long time. Actually I can’t remember ever really doing something like this. Kristi is sad that I will be away all week and I am a little sad that my vacation and the elders retreat will be back to back but that’s how it goes. Wish I could be with my wife this week. Getting away from things is so hard. Actually it seems to get harder and harder as time goes by which is funny cause your need for only grows over time. And don’t just mean getting away physically. There is a whole process of disconnecting mentally and emotiuonally from your job. I struggle with this. Even though I think my job can be a pain in the butt from time to time (to time to time to time), because its what I love to do and its what I believe god has given me a passion for, I find it hard to completely disconnect. I always want to know whats going on back on the ranch. But these 4 days in Canada are a time to really disconnect. I need to unplug and shut down the work side of me for now. I will be able to start it up again for the elder retreat.
