Take A Break

This post comes later than most and will be shorter than most.  It just so happens I am on vacation with my family.  I have chosen to take a break.  I have taken a break from emails, phone calls, and appointments.  I have taken a break from chores, from cooking, and from daily commitments.  I have chosen to focus on my husband, to focus on my kids, and to focus on myself.  

We have had a full day…Mass in the morning, ice cream with the kids in a downtown ice cream shop, I took a nap on the beach while the kids played, I put my toes in the water during the cool afternoon, and we wrapped up our evening with a stroll and fireworks. My heart is full and I am exhausted.

So now I am going to listen to my own advice and I am going to take a break from making a longer blog post.

It is late.  The kids are up eating frozen waffles they have cooked in the microwave.  I am going to go join them!

The truth is, taking a break is important, it is necessary, and it is always worth it!
