This Friday is a relaxing one, having been mostly off for the past week or so.

I’m thankful for down time and the refresh & perspective it brings. I never was big on down time. Always pushing, pushing, pushing. Now I appreciate the change and the time spent on different things.

It helps to shift gears every now and then. To take time for different things, different people or maybe just nothing. Yikes, I remember giving my mom such a hard time for saying that. It’s good though. Whether it’s traveling or reading or dancing or finishing that “Homeland” marathon, shifting gears gives you a chance to look at things differently.

We all need a little perspective sometimes.

Happy New Year everyone!
