Not only are we putting out our mainstays, <em>Guideposts<\/em> and <em>Angels on Earth<\/em>, but we&rsquo;re also putting together two other publications: this year&rsquo;s special keepsake holiday edition, <em>The Joys of Christmas 2012<\/em>, plus (drum roll, please) the first-ever issue of <a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/mysterious-ways-magazine-offer\"><em>Mysterious Ways<\/em> magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s also a very busy time, since the same staff is working on all four publications. Hard to take a day, let alone a whole week, off with so much going on. But I know taking the occasional break is key to staying positive. So what have I been doing?<\/p>\n<p>When I feel my positive attitude drooping, I take a minute vacation. I&rsquo;m not certain of the origin of the phrase, but I think it comes from a prayer by Wilferd Arlan Peterson, who wrote inspirational essays for the Sunday newspaper supplement <em>This Week<\/em>: &ldquo;Slow me down, Lord&#8230; Teach me the art of taking minute vacations, of slowing down to look at a flower, to chat with an old friend or make a new one, to pat a stray dog&#8230;&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Anything that takes your mind to an unhurried place (or time or both) will work. Need some inspiration for your minute vacation?<\/p>\n<p>Look at photos from your favorite actual vacation. Or be like me and take a vicarious vacay&mdash;check out <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/kevinrussend\/\">Kevin Russ&rsquo;s photostream<\/a> of his road trip out west (the guy took all of those stunning shots with his iPhone!).<\/p>\n<p>Watch a video meditation, like our video on <a href=\"http:\/\/guideposts.org\/video\/hope-and-faith\/spring-flower-meditation\">the beauty of flowers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Eat some juicy, just-ripe fruit (berries are great right now). Or a piece of really good chocolate.<\/p>\n<p>Read a poem or prayer that transports you. Read it out loud even, so you can hear the rise and fall and rhythm&mdash;the music&mdash;of the words. One I came across recently is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poetryfoundation.org\/poetrymagazine\/poem\/182386\">&ldquo;Our Valley&rdquo;<\/a> by poet laureate Philip Levine. I saw just the one line &ldquo;wait on the wind, catch a scent of salt, call it our life&rdquo; on a poster and felt compelled to look up the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of music, sit back and listen to a song with a mellow vacation vibe.<\/p>\n<p>Enough from me. Enjoy your minute vacation!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&rsquo;s an exciting time here at the Guideposts editorial office.
