Leaving on a Jetplane

Tomorrow I leave for America to see my sister in California. I'm excited and expectant. I haven't had a proper vacation since before my first son was born and he's just turned 3 so I feel well due for a holiday.
Much has happened since I've last written but as often happens with me, I find the internal changes difficult to put into words. I have felt as though almost too much was happening so I've consciously attempted to take a mental break as I find that trying to focus on too many areas of my life at once can seem overwhelming. I guess I just want to find a real place of balance. I want to know when to rest, when to work, when to talk, when to be silent etc. I think finding this balance comes more easily as I 'tune in' to the intuitive voice of my heart (or even better yet, the voice of God in my heart.) Once again, I'm learning the difference between external obligations and internal guidance. Sometimes the internal gets drowned out in the 'busy-ness' of life. I wonder if there are layers to this process as I know I'm much more aware of my heart's leading than I used to be, but I still have much to learn.
Part of my excitement about this trip is due to the fact that I know the time away from my everyday activities will enable me to look at things with fresh eyes. I have some goals for while I'm away and I look forward to what surprises are in store for me. It's an adventure and I'm packed and ready to go!
