I needed one. I burned myself out on blogging, both writing and visiting, and needed to step away for a spell.
What if we could take breaks from all kinds of things we felt burned out from? Wow. That'd be fun. Work would certainly be on that list. I bet kids and parents and friends and the telephone and the mailbox and the cat box and email and cleaning and bill paying might be on the list too.
I'm not talking about a break like vacation or holiday. Hell no. Those can become generally more stressful than regular life with all the pressures of having a good time, seeing enough, doing enough and keeping everyone happy. No, I'm talking about a break. A real one. One where you walk away for a while and it all leaves you alone.
It isn't mad, it isn't waiting for you looming overhead, it actually doesn't even care that you've been on a break. There are no consequences for stepping away. No catching up. Nope. Just a break with no obligations when you get back.
I actually think the only thing in my life that can work with is blogging. Maybe that's another reason I needed a break.
It was a nice break. Thanks for being here now that I am back.

Hey friend. I was just about to call you and decided to check your blog. Glad to read your new post and glad you had a nice break.
And I completely agree. I just mentioned to a friend tonight that I needed such a break. My exact words were, "I just want to sit on my couch with a Sleepy Time tea and stare at the wall all day if that's what i feel like doing."
Breaks are good. Breaks are needed.
It's about time! I was ready to break something, alright!
You can add me to the list. Would I miss you? Yes. Would I be mad? No. Break from me any time. Just come back with as much love & enthusiasm as we've had before.
Everyone needs breaks. Tomorrow I wish I could take a break from the alarm clock. Too damn early.
Responsibility in general. That's the other thing I want a break from.
I think I like this topic too much.
I think drugs (the illegal kind) exist because we often want to take a break from life.
From chasing a lead on my friends blog I hit upon your picture. First impressions was that you looked not only sexy in a jungle kind of way, but also like your a really fun person.
Upon reading your entries, you got your head screwed on, know where your shits at, and got some great folk around you too.
Be proud to be you, cos you should be.
