A couple weeks ago, I took a meal over for a friend of mine – a mother of 6 who broke her wrist quite badly. Now, I stand in awe of this woman even when her wrist isn\u2019t broken. I barely survived raising 2 kids, but she makes caring for her 6 kids look so easy. And she\u2019s still sane.<\/p>\n

Amazing.<\/p>\n

Over the years, I\u2019ve learned to listen when this woman talks. Still, she surprised me when I dropped off the meal. \u201cThanks so much,\u201d she said. \u201cThis is a really busy time for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though she was right – that week, the book deadline and the speaking engagement were breathing down my neck. \u201cSo,\u201d she persisted, \u201cAfter your book is in, are you going to take some time off?\u201d<\/p>\n

Though I couldn\u2019t see my expression, I\u2019m pretty sure it was a blank stare. \u2018Cause all I could think was, That\u2019s nothing compared with what you do every day of the year. I am such a slouch and a whiner to boot. \u201cA break?\u201d I stammered. \u201cWhy would I take a break?\u201d<\/p>\n

She smiled. \u201cIn the last 12 months, you\u2019ve had two weddings and written a book. You need some time off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Told you she\u2019s an amazing woman.<\/p>\n

If anyone else had given me that advice, I would have scoffed. But not this one. If she says I need a break, I need a break. So I am officially declaring this as my week off. I\u2019m gonna
\ndo what I want to do around the house,
\nspend some time shopping,
\nvisit a book store,
\nfrequent coffee shops.<\/p>\n

One year ago today, I was dancing at my son and new daughter\u2019s wedding. Today I\u2019m kicking off my stay-cation by cleaning my car and buying humus and pita chips for lunch.<\/p>\n

What would my amazing woman friend would think of the agenda? I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

All I know is that it\u2019s not two weddings and a book. Which makes it the break I need. Let the fun begin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
