Planning a vacay makes you happy

The NYTimes recently did a story about vacation and vacation planning making people happy. I think their assessment seems right that when people take the time to plan a vacation there is a heightened sense of happiness in their lives. I'm following that lead and planning something impromptu next week.
If you follow the blog, you might just figure out where I'll be heading.

A conversation with a former co-worker brought on this sudden desire to escape for a few days. She is taking a week off before her comprehensive exams to go horse back riding in Arizona. I was floored. And then my mind began to wander.

Where I may be heading probably won't have as much open space, but I may see a horse or two.

Have an amazing day!
