A Question of Restoration
It is Saturday as I type this and I am sitting in the quiet sanctuary of a friend’s house. All of my companions are out and about, but I remain here to relax, read, and type my Sunday Question to you. Tomorrow I am up for one last day hike, starting at sunrise, and ending with a five hour drive back home. Therefore this moment seems most perfect to spend it it with you.
One of my companions who has joined me for the duration of this impromptu trip week, says she is now completely worn-out and wants another week to just recuperate from the rigors of hiking, playing with puppies, and occasionally finding a wonderful catfish restaurant. I can see her point to a certain degree – a change of schedule and such can be a bit tiring. However for me it is totally invigorating.
So the Sunday Question is – are vacations just that, a break and restoration or are they just the opposite (and why?)

I would think it depends on how obsessive/compulsive you are. I hate vacations - too stressful.
