Terry For the last 32 years, I have made it a point to take at least 2 weeks off each year, and most years, three weeks.?One week of that is at the convention and the rest of the time?traveling to and from the convention. In addition, I also take a couple of long weekends and maybe even an extra week sometime during the school year or over the Holidays. Just as we need to recharge our minds by attending chapter meetings and seminars, we need to take a mental break, to recharge our psyche. You owe it to yourself to take a break. Just schedule it in your calendar. When you get back from the break, you'll feel much better, and ready for the challenges of work.

So, I won't be responding to any emails or phone calls or text messages or gps whatevers or anything else. Why am I thinking of Richard Brekne in Norway who spends two weeks at least twice per year in the far north of that lovely country - I would love to have that kind of time luxury.....? What's wrong with us Americans?????? ? I will be back on April 9th and I will cancel all my appointments so that I can read and respond to all of the 13,798 emails I get in the meantime...... ? :-) ?
