Time for s Spring Break

Greetings:

All the children may be back in school with Spring Break only a memory, but it isn't too late to take your own spring break. Springtime is a wonderful time just to enjoy. Taking a spring break doesn't mean that you have to go to the beach for a week, although that isn't a bad idea. What it does mean is that you take some time to enjoy, relax, and rejuvenate.

When I left my corporate job, I took spring off before starting my own business. Since I had time, I would go outside and sit with my dog and enjoy the day. I noticed that there seemed to be an increase in the butterfly population and I wondered what created that. I mentioned my observation to a friend. She laughed and said, "There hasn't been an increase in the butterfly population. You just haven't been outside during spring in years!" She was right. I had not taken a break during spring since I was a teenager.

You can take a mini spring break during the day. Perhaps you could park a little further from the office and walk a few blocks into work and enjoy the wonderful weather. Instead of eating lunch inside, eat at an outside cafe or bring your lunch and have a picnic. Take the kids to the park in the evening or take a walk through your neighborhood. There are so many simple ways to take a mini spring break that will renew and rejuvenate you.

Here's to taking action,
