Take a break

Sometimes that's the best advice I can give someone. Life can seem overwhelming sometimes (or all the time) and I am certainly no exception to that rule. I try to follow my own advice though and just get away. You don't have to climb a mountain (although I enjoy that) or walk on a deserted beach (that is nice too) to regroup. Sometimes I just drive with the radio off.

It is amazing to me how a simple time-out can make my problems seem so distant and the solutions seem so near.

I know I write about this often, but maybe I need to remind even myself about this key principle.
