I’m glad you’re learning to take time – to step back and recharge. We all need it. Just recently, I apologized to an employee over their 2-week vacation policy. Basically, I said, “I don’t even believe that anymore. I’m sorry. 2-weeks is stupid. Have more. Serious – plan another vacation!” Haha. I think I made his day.

No waiting around for a year or anything.

And I was so mistaken that the work load was so heavy, maybe I should wait for a lull, maybe I should wait until I get a better hang of things to take vacation. So I have 3 weeks vacation piled up right now and I need a break so bad! I’m probably half as effective as I could be. But I can’t take time off now because we’re in the middle of a big project and I’m about to be gone for a month or so after I have a baby.

I’m pretty peeved but trust me, I learned my lesson.

And it translates to anything in life. I now know than when our marriage seems stuck in grind lock I better take a step back. I don’t need to hash out all the annoyances and problems. I probably need a massage and a glass of wine maybe buy lipstick. Then when I feel better things work out better.
