on a thankful Friday

I came back to a long to do list at work and a boss on vacation so there isn't much to say today except vacations are good.  Needed.  Not to be underestimated in their ability to help put you back together again.  I can't believe I let myself forget that for so long and am thankful we were able to take the time away.  And even though we are back in the thick of it, just knowing it's out there to be had again feels good.  The photos to remind us help too.

*and for the record, I did not check work email once while we were away.  I fought with my will power for the first 24 hours and then forgot a thing called work or email even existed for the next 6 days.
