Have you ever just felt like you can’t take it another day at work?  Had to deal with aggravating co-workers, know it all supervisors, needy clients, and requests that never end?  Well, I have felt that way for some time now and to relieve some of the stress, I took a few days off from work.  Thank goodness, I am in a position to have accrued vacation time. 

Today wraps up the last day of a love four day weekend.  In that time I have not thought about work at all.  I have laid around in bed for long hours (not always by myself ) and became a couch potato.  I made no major plans to fulfill a myriad of things on a huge to-do list.  I decided the only thing I would do . . .is me (don’t read that the wrong way).  I spent the time giving myself a pedicure, reading a very steamy Eric Jerome Dickey novel, and just relaxing.

Because I took this time to unwind, I am ready to go back to work tomorrow.  I am ready to face whatever may come my way.  Sometimes the vacation you need is not the one that takes you to some far away local.  Sometimes, the vacation you need can be found within the confines of your own four walls.  You sit back and allow yourself the time to do the things you enjoy most.  Doing nothing at all sure feels great sometimes.
