Vacations

 It is fairly easy to keep to a spiritual practice when I am at home in my routines.  I fit it in.  I have some control and discipline.  I pat myself on the back.  Bu when I get out of my routine, such as travel, vacation, visiting, I seem to do far less practice.  I might do just enough to hold myself together, but not enough to be of service to others, to get out of a narrow self-interest.  What I need to remember is that my faults, character defects, don’t take a vacation.  For that matter, no addiction takes a vacation.  So, I need to find a way to keep up my daily spiritual practice.  It is not an option in my case.
