"Life is what happens while you are busy making other plans." - John Lennon
True story, John. Busy making plans and busy posting plans.
'Picture or it doesn't happen' is the message in our today's world. Sometimes it feels as if experiences only achieve true value when they are instantly shared with others.
Do we travel to live the moment for ourselves or to fill our blogs with new content that's going to impress others?
Closed For #Vacation - The Recovery Project
In about 24 hours I'll board an airplane that'll take me to a destination I've dreamt of for years.
I'm totally convinced that my own emotions will overwhelm me there. My head is full of curiosity and excitement.
That trip will definitely broaden and blow my mind, and therefore I'm definitely not going to be online in the meantime.
I want to have both hands and my mind free - and simply focus the beautiful HERE AND NOW.
It'll be an interesting experience since I've been posting and publishing and writing and blogging during the past 9 months without a break.
However, creative minds need to recharge their inspirational sources from time to time.
My brain's feeling a bit exhausted lately. I've pushed all my power and energy and ideas into this network. Now I need some recovery time.
I allow myself the luxury of not being connected :-)
Nowadays we tend to treat life as a constant status update. Sometimes we're more concerned with how our lives look like than how they actually feel.
That's why we should unplug ourselves from time to time - and breath.
The upcoming days and nights deserve my full attention; it'll be a crazy mix of pure pleasure, adventure, excitement, fun, discovery, urban life, nature, party, relax - and friendship.
I'll be back with new and fresh stories in a while - promised! 💚
Big hugs & kisses,
Marly -

@surfermarly - I can not accept you are disconnected with me and the community! We need your positive vibes daily! Don't leave us alone :-).
Enjoy the vacation. I am sad
Oooooh you will find surely survive two weeks without these vibes 😉😉😉
I definitely need that break. I don't sleep well anymore and have some ear problems. These are results from too much time in front of my computer. Blue light is toxic. Now I need some recovery time in order to restart my body and brain - and then I'll be back full steem ahead 🏄🏄🏄
Halt die Ohren steif!
Was bleibt mir übrig meine Liebe - lass es Dir gut gehen
Das mach ich! Auf bald.
Enjoy your break, which is probably well deserved! So excited to find out which country you went to, when your reports will be posted in a few weeks..
:-)
Thank you very much!!!
I'll be crossing the Atlantic Ocean - more details soon 😉
Hi Marly, sometimes we need to reset ourselves only to excel again. Wishing you all the best during your journey and stay save. Bon voyage! ✌
Thank you very much @gococonuts!!!

That's a nice one from John Lennon!

Best in your new adventures! Been following for a while, since the days of me doing "minnow reports" and have always enjoy your posts!

Good to know you are back with full energy. I'm planning to the same..

recht hast du, wir sind eh alle viel zu viel online... Wünsche dir eine wunderschöne Reise, genieße die Freiheit mal nicht an das Internet gebunden zu sein ;)
Viel zu viel - definitiv! Ich hab von dem ganzen Blaulicht-Konsum schon Schlafstörungen bekommen. Geht gaaaaaaar nicht! Jetzt wird mal der Stecker gezogen 😉
Vielen Dank für die Wünsche und auf bald!

Sure, will be waiting to hear from you
Have fun and don't think about Steemit once! Not!
Hahaha I'll try 😄✌️
I need to borrow that closed sign!!
It's yours! I've just changed it for the airport pic 😉
Enjoy your vacation! Where are you going?
To a place that never sleeps 😉
Thank you!!!
Aaaahhh, I (almost) see :)
#digitaldetox
Have fun and a great trip!
Im curious which destination it is. Some Caribbean island?
I'll keep that a bit more in suspense 😉
Will talk about it in detail once I'm back home.
Thanks for your wishes and yes: it's detox time!! Hehe
Travel well, and enjoy, my dear Marly.
Hugs!
😄😇😄
Thanks my friend! Went surfing once more today's morning. Now my surfboard will be parked for two weeks. Strange feeling, haha!
Big hugs and kisses 😍😍😍
PS: Are you planning to come to Portugal (steemfest)? You HAVE TO!!!
Ah, if only I could! ); I would love to be there...
Perhaps one of these days, when my "Steem Ship" comes in! ;)
I hope your trip is spectacular! - Will you be reaching the Pacific Ocean? :D
This time I don't come that close 😉
Awww... :(
A vacation focused on the here and now, perfect my lovely.
Enjoy, in joy :-)
Thank you so much! That's the plan 😉
Cool. Riding the vacation wave :-)
Yeeeeeew 🏄🤘🏿
Darf man fragen wo dich das Flugzeug hinbringt?
Hört sich nach einem sehr abgelegenen Ort an.
Wie lange wirst Du denn weg sein?
Vielleicht für immer, wer weiß das schon...😉
Sind mehrere Destinationen, Details verrate ich dann in meinen nächsten Artikeln.
Abgelegen sind sie allerdings nicht... weit weg schon.
Auf bald!
Dann wünsch ich dir die beste Reise Deines Lebens, würde mich freuen wieder von Dir zu hören
und vorallem Bilder zu sehen :-)
bis dahin... winke winke
🤗🤗🤗
wish you good times and success in your adventures...enjoy , be safe and be happy.

GET THE BALANCE RIGHT! -- seem's you have ;)
Can you remember how you felt?!? How life can change in such a short time!
