I need a holiday. To go away some place where I’ll wake up with only a single concern every morning: to feed this body of mine. To eat some good and some not-considered-so-good food. To spoil myself with fries and burgers, coffee and loads of chocolate, ice cream and cake. To be bad (or good, depending on how you see it) to myself for while, to over indulge. To feel no guilt at a late morning or an inactive day.
My sole purpose will be to walk about, not aimlessly, but seeing sights; stopping only to drink in the pleasure. I’ll eat some strange foods and talk to some strangers. They’ll talk back in accents I don’t understand and I’ll giggle like a school girl.
I’ll see new places, learn new things and meet new people. There will be new music, new stories, new folklore, new jokes, new festivals. Even new dreams, I imagine. I’ll relax, forget a little and live a whole lot. I’ll take long walks, and learn to appreciate art and wine. I’ll take boat rides, go treausure hunting and wish upon stars.
And when my holiday ends, I’ll be a new creature. With bigger cheeks, of course.

Hi, Kat, I’m almost fully operational again, nice to see you on my pages and glad to be able to visit yours. Always inspirational. On another note, you may be interested in reading this post I did not write but reblogged, better safe than sorry I think:

I came across your blog from wordsfallfrommyeyes and I really like it. You have a new follower!
We are off to Senegal for our son’s wedding soon and all that you say about new foods, accents, experiences are things I’m looking forward to. I shall have to try to speak French though so it’ll be my accent that’ll be funny!
Thank you for taking the time to pass by my blog. I’ve been to your blog, and I like the idea of writing down three things that brightened the day… .
Have a great time in Senegal, hope to hear more of your adventures there. Seeing as you’ve been to SA before, Senegal may not be much of a culture shock… I think (?)
We are looking forward to this wedding in such a different culture. We’ll be living with the family so really absorbing the way of life and I’m hoping to have my dress made for me in Dakar in the days before the wedding!
I concur, I enjoyed this post . Just do it , we as women need to cater to our whimsical wants with out guilty feelings because we finally did something just for ourselves.
