It has been really exciting this week to watch two of my co-workers take off on a well-deserved holiday – Mackay Editor Amanda Wright has flown to Los Angeles and our beloved boss Bec Douthwaite headed off to Fiji.
Having just come back from my own lengthy vacay visiting family in the UK, it feels great to see them get their turn – I know first-hand how important it is to give yourself time to relax, take a step away from your ‘everyday’ and reconnect with the most important person in your life – yourself!
I hope many of you are enjoying time off with the family over the school holidays and those who are lucky enough to be able to travel at off-peak times, are planning their next getaway.
We can all get caught up in the vicious circle of ‘existing’ – waking up, going to work, cooking dinner, going to bed and repeating the same thing again tomorrow.
Life’s short and if we are lucky enough to get old, we won’t be looking back at how much we earned, how high-powered our job was or even the belongings we managed to accumulate over time – we will be looking back at the magical moments and the good times we created with family and friends.
I know I will!
This edition we celebrate a hugely successful 14th annual Paul Bowman Challenge, a Family Fun Day in Bowen, the Get Active Day in Airlie Beach and the Big Aussie BBQ at Coral Sea Marina – it has been great to see so many people show-up and support the events that are largely organised by volunteers and often raising money for local charities.
Congratulations to everyone involved.
