It’s a Bird. It’s a Plane. No, it’s a Workaholic Ziplining Over Maui

Posted on by

Wow, the universe works in mysterious ways!  The day after I committed to taking five and learning the art of playing, the zipline dropped into my lap (not literally).  There I was, heading out for a walk, when I bumped into my neighbor.  During our conversation I told her how I want to start having fun and learn how to play, and she told me the Piiholo Ranch Zipline was having a deal for kama’ainas (locals) this weekend!  Regularly $190 per person for—get this—$60 each.  It was like a neon sign flashing in my brain, “See! You are meant to have fun, to play! GO and fly the friendly skies on a zipline!”

I think I got a little carried away with the attached video.  At least it’s short. Sorry about the film quality, but the music is great!  Steven and I had a blast!  The best thing was that while being suspended in space I never once thought about all of the work waiting for me back at the office.  How could I while zipping over Maui!  The time went by way too fast; the two hours felt more like 15 minutes. Would love to do it again, but will wait for another kama’aina deal.

I have to admit that once we got back home it was not easy staying out of the office, but I was determined.  Also that night it was hard to fall asleep as thoughts of all that I needed to do started filling up any empty voids in my head.

Don’t know what’s up for next week, but I am sort of looking forward to it.  Maybe I will end up being a cured workaholic after all.
