Lisa-Jo gave us a break, a prompt free week. But a few lovely writers want to go anyway. so the prompt became break, and the link host moved for one week, and still I write on Thursday. Some things still happen as expected.
Go.
I could have used this break as a time to skip a week. Get the rest of the things done that I need to get done (like finish the Christmas cards <-- don't judge!) and finish the laundry. Pack for the trip tomorrow. Write the letters so overdue. But I was craving a break in my day. Overwhelmed at work with a new project and a 4 day weekend looming ahead in all its splendor. And still I needed to stop for a minute. Refocus my brain. Or think about something else. Perhaps inconsequential, but the refreshing mind break. So I can tackle this afternoon and get it all done. And then walk away tonight not having to get out 3 status reports in the middle of the night and being able to leave my laptop at home this weekend. Means no good pictures of the trip until I get back, but also means a break from email and the temptation to work because I have an extra minute without the kids asking for this or that. so, taking a break now to ensure I have a break this weekend - this is a worthwhile 5 minute pause indeed.
Stop.
THIS week, link up over here!
LOL you crack me up always sliding in on Thursday! I totally relate to the Christmas cards, but its the thought that counts, right? Sounds like you have a busy weekend ahead. We had our long weekend this past week and naturally it was not restful at all! I think we need to teach these people we live with that even God took a rest that he didnt use the "day off" to finish twenty-two million other things! LOL could work! Hope you have a great weekend and actually do get your break! God bless!
