the day that i, like many (most) of the modern day white collar workers spend most of the year looking forward is finally upon me -- the day before summer holiday. it is a fantastic day which mainly consists of cleaning your desk and setting up auto-reply (even if today i actually have to finish some work as well) and is often characterized by a strange feeling of ease and lightness.
i try not not think how sad it is that i work for eleven months and get one off -- maybe i'll think about that once the holiday is over.
so tomorrow i will fly off to sicily, where i will be spending the next three and a half weeks. i have every intention to keep up with my running and ashtanga practice; for me, holiday has never really been something to be considered as a break from exercise. are you kidding me, that's when you have the time to enjoy it better than normally!
other things i'm looking forward experiencing during my one month of freedom are first and foremost taking it easy, relaxing, writing my scribbles, taking pictures, spending time with the man that i love, spending time by myself, experiencing a new place and culture very different to helsinki, eating some good sicilian food, drinking some nice sicilian wine, swimming in the sea warmer in temperature than the icy baltic -- enjoying myself obscene amounts, basically.
because that's what holidays are for.
