I have been going through life at top speed for a few months now. I just finished my fourth class towards my MBA. It is a ton of work especially when trying to plan for vacation but I busted butt and finished two weeks early so while on vacation… can you say, “no homework!”

I am spending my first real vacation in beautiful Arizona. My last vacation, I spent a glorious week in bed with the flu (sad face). Anyways, Mr.Awesome Boyfriend has a sales conference at a casino/resort. I usually attend for a few days because of work. This year, marks my 3rd year with Safeway and I have not 1 but 2 weeks paid vacation! So, here I am in Az for a week of rest and relaxation.

I realized that we spend too much time with our nose to the grind stone. Most people are working too hard and not spending time on themselves to play hard! Find a time to unwind… whether it is reading a book, watching a movie, getting coffee with a friend or taking a real vacation (no work interruptions). We are not the energizer bunny… balance is needed or else we are just robots waiting until we break.

Don’t be grumpy cat!
