The best vacation is a gratitude moment of but minutes. Imagine just hand-writing a regular US-mail thank you note to someone, who randomly crosses your mind to thank that day.  My mother attempted, each day, to do something for someone unasked. Maybe you can write to a retired legislator who penned a law that helped a lot of folks. Perhaps the poet or artist who inspires you daily from the wall above your desk. How about a colleague whose quiet heroics serves as a shining example? I guarantee you'll feel refreshed and you will also feel grateful!
