Take a Break…relax, enjoy, put your work on hold…
“What we do during our working hours determines what we have; what we do in our leisure hours determines who we are.” George Eastman
We are fast approaching the time of year when most of us long for the chance to slow down enough to catch our breath. Even if you can only take a break just long enough to pause and let the sun tickle your face…that is sure to coax a smile to brighten your moment. While you are smiling, why not take it a step further and laugh aloud…allow it to echo through to your heart. Now hold onto that lightness and let it grow into the most wonderful sensation; kind of like a private escape. Just be sure to enjoy it often…let if become a part of you.
Take a Break
Take a break, relax, enjoy…
put your work on hold.
Close your eyes, sit back, imagine…
when you do, just think of what may unfold.
Take a break, don’t worry or fret…
really, what difference will that make?
Let yourself escape for a while,
just enjoy it, for goodness sake!
Take a break, get out, explore…
go on, do yourself a favor.
Life will go on, it won’t come to an end…
besides, you may just have more of it to savor.
