I used to think I wasn't doing my job if I wasn't thinking or worrying 24/7 about my next column or assignment. In the long run, I produced my best stuff when I returned from sabbaticals. Sadly, in this country, we're brainwashed into thinking we'll lose our place if we pause to refresh or refuel. Thanks for reminding us that this isn't always so.

Perhaps this will be the nudge I need to ditch the corporate world once and for all!

In this time and age where we are constantly in a rat race, we need to be reminded that if we don't unplug, life will plug us out more quickly than we can say, "Cheese please".
