The Reason for The Silence

So I have been a bit quite on the blogging front.  This is because I am getting ready for a big operation and will need some time off work to recover.  What this basically boils down to is that I am cramming a lot of extra work into each day.  Plus lots to do at home.
I have an assistant holding the fort while I am away but the reality is that there is much of my job that she cannot do.  In the future this is something I intend to remedy by training her up so that when I take time off I can really relax.  I know that I have a bad habit of thinking that I am the only one who can do it all, but if I want to have relaxing holidays in the future I know I have to change my thinking.

Does this happen to anyone else?

Since I will not be blogging for the next couple of weeks I have some posts planned and scheduled.  I have been reading some interesting articles over the last few months so I thought I would share them with you.

They are quite long but I found them really inspiring and informative.  Enjoy reading them.

Here's the first one.

Mindfulness - The Doorway To Simple Living

Exhausted

I am tired.  Really tired.
Too much going on in both my work and personal life, joined at the hip to my computer. Hence my absence from here.
Hubby has been telling me for a few months that I am doing too much.  Mean while I have been living in denial, believing that I can just keep pumping out 75 hour weeks, without it taking a toll.
Guess who was right?
So I am detaching myself from my computer and going screen free for the rest of the month.  Hubby and I are going away for a few days to see some friends who live on the coast.  We are taking Jessie and going to spend some time just chilling out at the beach.

I'll be back next month with some new energy.  See you then.
