All Good Things Come To an End

If you've been reading this blog over the last couple of months, you
know that I've often rang the margin bell - do less, relate more. The
thing is, I don't take my own medicine.

I was contemplating naming this post "Less Work, More Fun," because I
realize that slowly, yet surely, the sheer volume of work that I'm
trying to accomplish is in fact killing me. I'm always tired, I never
rest, I can't seem to get it all done. If I can't get it all done
working 18 hour days for months on end, then there is obviously too
much to do, this blog included.

These last couple of months spent writing posts daily have been a
worthwhile and thoroughly enjoyable experiment, but an experiment
nonetheless. I won't say that I'm shutting it down permanently, but
I'm definitely taking a sort of hiatus. I'll post occasionally, but
not daily. To do so would turn a labor of love into a labor only.

Here's to less work, more fun, and a healthier life because of it.

The Reunion

On at least three different occasions in the last ten days I've witnessed a reunion. People meet and reconnect after being away from one another for a period of time. The emotion and excitement that accompanies the reunion is always refreshing, and anyone who witnesses the act of people being reunited with one another can't miss it.

We are all aware of those people in life who have been away for a while, but are returning. Wouldn't it be worthwhile to experience the emotion and excitement of reunions more often? We get excited when we reconnect, and it brings us joy. Our love for one another is put on display and becomes an encouragement to those around us. Couldn't we benefit from more joy and love in life?

Who can you reunite with today? Have you been away for a while and are now traveling back? Don't you want to have an exciting reunion upon your return? I certainly do. The reunion - an opportunity to display joy and love to those around us who may not know it otherwise.
