I\u2019m writing to you from Croatia! \ud83d\ude42 I hope you had a great Fourth of July and a relaxing weekend!\u00a0<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I had the most magical birthday. I received hundreds of heartfelt birthday wishes, which I had to read later, because I had only a few minutes of access to wi-fi (of course, that in itself was a gift).<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
My boys and I spent two amazing days on the coast – in a tiny, tiny village built in a small bay of the island Pag. The sea was calm and warm, just enough of a gentle breeze to keep us comfortable on those hot summer days, and people were incredibly relaxed.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
Yes, life is challenging in Croatia (the economy is not great) but there was no sense of stress or overwhelm or even complaining. And that\u2019s because Croatian people hold their vacation time sacred.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
They know that a vacation is their chance for a physical, mental and emotional renewal, a detox from daily stress, worry and anxiety, and they make sure they use it wisely.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
There is this common agreement that a vacation – at the sea or in the mountains – is not a luxury or a privilege but a part of health care.\u00a0(Can we please work on that in America?)<\/i><\/div>\n
—<\/div>\n
At first we were planning to go from Venice (where we landed) straight to my mom\u2019s home in Zagreb. But the coast was closer, and my best friend (who came to pick us up) suggested we go to the Island with her. My mom, who wanted nothing more than to hug my boys and me as soon as possible, said: \u201cDon\u2019t even think about it. The boys and you need the salt air and sea water.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
So we swam, and we sat over cups of creamy delicious cappuccino for a long time. I also lay on the beach and watched the diamonds on the water.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I smiled as I became aware of how different my life is right now. I used to watch these diamonds and feel sad because I no longer was there with someone who was gone from my life. Or I\u2019d imagine some time in the future when my life would be \u2018better\u2019 and I\u2019d return to this place to enjoy it. This is exactly how thoughts of the past and future rob us from the gifts and blessings we get to enjoy in each moment.<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
I was grateful that I am now able to stay in the gratitude of the \u2018here and now\u2019 moment (believe me, it took a lot of practice!) – the two days we got to spend in such presence of gratitude and grace was so renewing!<\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/div>\n
