And We're Back
I was back in the office today, after eight lovely days away. The weather was great, and we did lots of fun stuff (beaches, Busch Gardens, the pool at my mom's place, touring, touring and touring), but I realized upon our return that all of that was incidental to the real reason I had such a good time. It struck me when David ran up to me when I got home this afternoon, arms up in the air, ready to fling them around my neck when I picked him up. I'd had a week of real, long, sweet days with my wife, son and mom (who I really do see far too little). Today was the first day in more than a week I hadn't spent the whole entire day, start to finish, with David. Man, did I miss him. And I realized that in the end, it's not rest or fun that recharges me, not at all. Something better.
