knowing when

Sometimes you just have to know when to say when.  When there's chaos going on around you and you don't know what to do next, maybe the answer is to walk away.


Seriously.

Take a mental time out.  Close the door.  Take the phone off the hook.  Hide all the open windows on you computer screen.  Go to the bathroom.  Yes, give yourself permission to relieve your bladder.  And while you're in there, take a few deep breaths and enjoy the solitude.  

Figure out what nourishes your soul and work that into your life.

Two of my closest friends live a thousand miles away from me (one in Texas, one in Florida) and getting together with them always nourishes me.  When we can't physically be together we connect over the phone or via e-mail.  Sometimes just hearing one of their voices makes everything seem right in the world.  

What's your nourishment?
