Take a Break

Sometimes when I have an amazing  opportunity it's all I can do to make myself take advantage of it. I come up with a million reasons why I shouldn't take the time. Things I think I need to do or just not wanting to get out of the house. Yet almost every time I end up having a great time and am so glad I took the time. 

Last night I had the opportunity to spend some time with my son at a Cirque Du Soleil show.  It didn't cost me anything but time and I was so glad I did. It was an incredible show and we both needed a break. In the midst of senior projects and college applications a couple of hours of enjoyment was a nice respite. 

I'm helping with a retreat this weekend and our topic is rest. I decided to heed the lessons I was preparing and just take a break and make sure my son did as well. 

I'm so glad I did. Sometimes you just have to take a break without guilt or stress. So do something fun for yourself even if it's just for a little while.
