I am learning that having a blog means that you need to have the next entry ready and that there is not time off for bloggers! Well last week i was on vacation! I really took a break and that meant no blogging for a week or so! After a frantic fall start up at NewSong, the new school year and catching up from sabbatical, Kris and I got away for a week at Historic Williamsburgh. It was my first time and it was awesome! Yes we toured Colonial sites -- but we rested...read...watched eight episodes of Law and order on a rainy day! We ate great food - thanks to our partners in crime Jerry and Melynda!! But with all we did to catch up on rest, revitalization and renewal -- there was not time for wRiting (almost an aliterated thought!). So here is my thought on the matter....all of us need a week or at least of weekend every now and then of complete non-activity. Sleep in late...read for as .ong as you want....don't look at your watch....eat lunch when its dinner time...breakfast at lunch time...take a walk or don't take a walk! Do nothing! Trust me -- for busy people -- nothing is a lot of work! But the net result is you will be refreshed and your mind will work a lot better. Now I am ready to blog away!
