Too much of a good thing

I used to wonder if I’d ever get sick of traveling. It’s become such a part of my late 20s, something I love to do so very much. Because of this, I’d think to myself, “Nahhh…no way. Not possible. There could never be too much of this kind of good thing.”

After the week I’m coming off of, I’ve proved myself wrong. I spent Monday through Wednesday in New York City, then packed up again to leave Friday and spend the weekend in New England with photographer friend Gwyneth Colleen, helping her with some shoots she had on her plate.

Both of these trips were incredible. I wouldn’t take either of them back. But both coming in the span of 7 days? TOTALLY reminded me that my body has limits. And that I almost pushed myself beyond what it could handle. And that I have this awesome husband named Nick that I need to pay more attention to.

So this is just a reminder to myself that whether it’s that entire pint of Ben and Jerry’s Phish Food or cramming two cross-country journeys into the same week, there can DEFINITELY be too much of a good thing.

Now, flowers, on the other hand, there can never been too much of those. Unless you’re allergic to them. In which case, we’ll just have to agree to disagree

PS – Speaking of Nick, I AM excited to know that the next time I pack a suitcase, I’ll be packing for my hubby too!
