I’ve missed a couple of blog posts. I’ve been trying to keep to a Monday and Friday posting schedule and I failed.

I wish I could say that it was some huge dramatic event, that I just got swamped, or overwhelmed? But the truth of the matter is I took an unplanned break.

I’m okay with that.

This not the head-space where I thought I’d end up. At first I felt guilty for missing a deadline and failing goals I’d set for myself. I am after all an ace-level procrastinator, I need self-management.

But, I realized I started writing this blog to be therapeutic. Something to help me as much as (hopefully) help others.

It helped me to take a break when there wasn’t a crisis looming. I read some books, worked on other projects and took some time to just breathe.

It was nice.

We’re having unseasonably warm weather here and yesterday I want for a walk at the beach and sat on a bench, with my eyes closed and listened. There was a woodpecker in the trees to my right. People were playing with their dogs in the off leash area to my left. The sound of peoples shoes crunching on the gravel path behind me was soothing, the sounds of seagulls flying overhead not so much. They can be shitty little buggers 🙂

For this week, I hope you find the same peace I have before we have to hit the ground running again.
