What I did on my summer vacation, Part 1

I am realizing very quickly that I have been extremely tightly wound for some time. As the minutes have turned to hours, I am slowly starting to relax and in the process, there is almost a backlash of giddiness that is creeping in.

I have 2 questions: 1) how in the world did I get into this state of tension and 2), what can I do to prevent it from ever happening again?

These are at least some of the questions I will be pondering as I sit back and watch and listen to the waves splashing on the sand. I am looking forward to my first morning quiet time on the beach.

And yes, I do plan on enjoying every moment of this vacation.
