Silver Lining

Hi all, I know it's been a couple days but I have been way busy playing catch up at work.

Silver lining:

Do you ever feel like vacation is just a reallocation of work? You just do more before you go on vacation and more when you get back. Well, that is exactly how I feel now, overwhelmed! I think I'd rather just keep working at a steady pace to be honest. Oh, I'm supposed to throw a silver lining in here right, not just complain. OK, here's the deal. With all the people out there out of work and trying to make ends meet, I shouldn't complain a bit. At least I am gainfully employed right? I do enjoy what I do and find it challenging so that is good.

It could be worse:

I could be unemployed and looking for employment in the current economy. If you're out there in this situation, well at least we have unemployment benefits in this country.

Life Coach:

I know I complained about vacation but it's important for all of us to take a break from time to time. Life gets going fast enough and we need to slow it down. Hey, this doesn't mean some fancy vacation far away. It could mean putting on some great music, having a drink w/ friends and relaxing in a lawn chair in your own backyard. Vacation is a state of mind not a particular location. Trust me on this.

Homework:

Take a mini vacation this weekend somewhere close to home. Recharge those batteries!
