Anyone remember that scene in The Shining where Jack Nicholson is sitting at his typewriter (with writers block) typing over and over "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy"...? Well I don't think I am on the verge of a psychotic break like he was ;) but I definitely need a break.I have finally scheduled myself 6 days off -in a row! This is a big deal for me because I haven't taken a real break since the first part of 2007. I think there are just some of us out there that like to work and I am one of them. I will go and go until I cannot go anymore and physically I will have to stop. Gratefully, that is not the case this time. I am in good health and want to keep it that way.
I am by nature a very independent person so I think it's fitting that my time off will fall over the holiday this weekend.
I am not sure exactly what I will do with my time...I didn't want to schedule too much to do... So, I most likely will head up into the mountains for a day or two. This helps me tremendously to re-charge my body, mind and spirit.
Have you taken a break lately? You don't wanna end up like Jack do you? ;)

I love that picture Gabi.
Glad you're taking a break. I need them from time to time. It is amazing when I take a day off work - it doesn't feel like Saturday or Sunday when I feel obligated to "get things done". I t feels so much better - like I am free of any obligation! Watch a movie, sit outside, drive to the mall. Have coffee and take a walk. All good things.
I hope you enjoy your time off.
