Why We All Need a Break From… Ourselves
Are you satisfied with the life you’re living?
“Oh, you are absolutely adorable.”
I hear this a lot these days.
For the past few weeks, whenever I step out of the house, it only takes a few minutes before someone approaches me and says those exact words.
Usually, the conversation doesn’t stop there; people want to chat.
Or I hear, “Look at him. He is so cute,” said behind me as they pass.
That’s not what I signed up for, I thought at first.
Give me a break!
Our New Family Member
My wife and I recently welcomed a new puppy into our family.
I affectionately call him “Big Man” whenever he comes running toward me, wagging his tail — or rather, his entire body!
“I’m really looking forward to our walks together,” I told my wife when we picked him up.
“These walks help me disconnect from my daily routine. They allow me to take a break from human interaction and give me space to reflect on the things I still want to accomplish in life. My ambitions and how to achieve them.”
