Here's a starter list for anyone who may need help in this area. (If this is something you need help in, I think you may actually need a break very, very ASAP. Health reasons, of course...)
1. Sleep in
2. Read books for fun
3. Do something creative-something with color and texture and nice lines...
4. Catch up on that one tv show you can never quite catch because real life interferes
5. Try a new drink (since you're not in the rat race, you won't risk throwing your day off with a different routine...!)
6. SPEND TIME WITH THE PEOPLE YOU LOVE! This is probably the best one. The most important at least!
I don't know about you, but when things are full-swing, in session, full steam, sometimes I have to prioritize things. That means, simply, things get left out because there is only 24 hours to the day, seven days to the week. That real life thing means that I have to count my hours and minutes, and sometimes that means I just can't say yes to the invitations that come my way. Most of the time people are understanding, but when I'm on break I can say yes! I'd love to join you for coffee! Yes! I'd love to sit down and talk with you! Yes! We should play that game! Yes! We should laugh together, read together, play together, worship together, pray together.
I have time.
