Vacation...

Everybody needs one. Yes, I said NEEDS one. I just returned from a week of no computer, spotty cell phone coverage and hardly any TV. You need that time to have a break from your normal routine, to rest, relax, unwind and recharge. The Europeans do it right--we have it wrong. Here, you are so afraid to take a break from work because of what you will return to. That is sad. Everyone needs a break. Your mind needs a break, your body needs a break, your soul needs a break. It doesn't have to be two weeks in Europe to qualify as a vacation. It could mean that you take a day off work and not do anything--no shopping, no errands, nothing, nada. Just relax. You will be amazed how much it will help. If you have paid vacations, you should certainly take advantage of that--even if you don't leave the house. A vacation doesn't mean you have to GO anywhere, just a vacation from your normal routine.

Take a vacation, get recharged. You will be glad you did!
