They are persistent and, as writers, how grateful we should be for that little/loud voice urging us on or filling us with plots and plans for our next article/short story or best seller…That said, I can relax and do…the nearest armchair/settee is near perfect.

Most definitely true, we all must have more or less breaks in our activities. All living creatures need recharging, moments of renewal, regain our used energy. We have gaps between our breath or heartbeats. On the other hand, holidays are like windows and doors on our houses we are living in. Opening them we can enjoy fresh air or bright light from outside. We are able to see different things in our surroundings. Thank you for your wisely written blog, I enjoyed to read for a few minutes as a mini holiday from my routine moments.
