Doing nothing at all.

Hi Mom,

It's 2:00am. Our taxi gets here in just under an hour. I got up early to shower and make sure we didn't sleep through our alarm. We went to sleep lastnight after a fabulous dinner and a few minutes on skype with you! It was WONDERFUL to see you!

You really are like the marshmallow in rice-crispie-cake for our family!

We had the most relaxing two-day-siesta possible!

Gwen led our exercise bootcamp yesterday and then the 4 of us read, swam (Kate even got goggles in Melaque and swam!), ate fruit and enjoyed the sun together. Then, lastnight after dinner, all 4 of us had our feet in buckets, doing a foot-scrub together. We had such a good tiime. How we wished you and the others were here!

Living intentionally just might mean doing nothing at all. Or, at the very most, as little as possible. Seriously - I'm realizing that this could very well be one of the most important components of living intentionally...not cramming and jammming in so much; taking life a little slower; leaving space for things that I really want to do, not just things I need to do (b/c I said "yes" when i should have said "no"). Ahhhh....so whether it's watching the waves come in at the ocean or the sunset at the beach...doing nothing at all sounds like a great idea.

We're up in 20 min to say goodbye and get our bags down to be ready for the taxi.
I love you.
We'll call you en route.

Not much time left of our siesta...but it sure was great! The only thing missing was you (and Don). And the rest of our family! Cindy says it's snowing in Calgary. I wish we were all here, enjoying the sun and having fun together!!
love Crystal
