Reprieve from self-imposed sabbatical

It has only been two weeks since my last entry but somehow, it feels like I have been playing truant for much longer than that.  I guess I just wanted to prove to myself that this is something that is entirely up to me and that I am free to stop this whenever I feel like I have had enough.  There were even moments when I just forgot why I am doing this in the first place.  I know...I know...it's too soon to experience any kind of burn out relating to this.  I guess this just hits much closer to home than I would care to admit.  I neither want nor care to elaborate on that one.  What I can say is that after the closest thing I can have for a retreat, it all came down to why I was doing this in the first place and simply not caring about everything else.

I am honest enough to say that this won't be the last time I will feel the need for some sort of break.  People forget.  Basic human nature.  Lessons learned will have to be re-learned over and over again.  So, what's my take-away from all this.  Well, there's the backlog of about 10 books to begin with but everything else considered, I consider myself lucky.
