A little time off.

You know the common saying, "you don't know what you've got until it's gone"? Well, there's a whole other end of the spectrum. It's hard to put it in a perfect statement but what I'm getting at is you don't know how much you need something until you experience it and realize this 'thing' can really make a tremendous difference in your life. I'm talking about something simple on my side -- time. I took 3 days off of work and I can say with full conviction that the past 72 hours have been the most exhilarating, refreshing, and happy that I've had in the last few months. I had no idea how much I needed this time to truly recuperate from the last few months of busy-ness, and I've taken note that I need to really stop myself at times and take a moment to breathe.
