a weekend to sea

september 16 2007

Yesterday I got a mail from the organisation of caretakers I recently became a member of.

They try to make life a bit easier for people who take care for the elderly, ill family members or for handicapped people just because they're family and there is no other help available.

I liked their booklet because what was written reflected understanding for the difficult decisions that need to be made at times.
They offered short stays to relax, but none of them was still open when I became a member.

So they send this letter with special arrangements for new people and those who haven't taken part in the past.

I didn't feel like making bonbons, get cookinglessons, or have a sing along with others.

But there was one weekend that reaaly struck me as being the perfect outing for me.

3 days at sea.
It was the only long weekend without a program.
It's for people who are very tired or suffer from burn out.

Looking honestly to the way I'm dealing with life at the moment that weekend is the perfect fit.

A special coach is available, which is great, but I can imagine that I just want the pampering, and a take-with-me lunch, so I can have a long walk at the beach and let the sea and the wind take care of all the clouds in my brains.

It will be nice not to be alone at night, and to meet others at breakfast and dinner.

Now I can only keep my fingers crossed there's still a place available.
