Take Time for Yourself

If you are:

• ill
• short on sleep
• uncaffeinated because you just couldn't get your act together
  
• seething with bitterness
• wanting to poke your eyes out with a stick

then you should take a day off. Whether you work for someone else or for yourself, you must take a day off every once in a while. You must.

Or else you are no good to yourself or anyone else. Just take a break, already. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything.

You may now return to your regular, mom-voice-free lives.
