Chapter 21: vacation mindset

Avocado Toast
When I was struck with the idea that what makes a vacation so rejuvenating has nothing to do with where you go, but how engaged you are with the moment, I immediately thought of this song–written immediately after a breakfast with my wife. It was a morning we were fully engaged in life and it was magical.


Avocado Toast by Brandon Wilson

I am waiting for the sun to come
So we can walk to the restaurant we know
I’ll have tea she’ll have the avocado toast
We’ll laugh like kids at nothing
Be back again tomorrow

I am waiting for the light to fade
So we can dance beneath the milky way
I’ll hold her close as the music plays
She’ll rest her head upon
My shoulder as we stay

A little longer
Than the day
