Glad took some time to get a away. I appreciate you story about letting go while being sick. It is interesting how being pretty sick can give you different perspective that you might not get to otherwise. I think you and I are alike in that we are both passionate about our work. When that is the case, the lines between work and play become blurry, and sometimes that makes it harder to take breaks. Congrats on your numbers Lodewijk...well deserved. <abbr>Michael@ Awareness * Connection's last blog post..<a href="http://enjoyparenting.blogspot.com/2008/08/one-year-ago-on-awareness-connection.html" rel="nofollow">One Year Ago on Awareness * Connection: Helping Your Child with Back to School Anxiety</a></abbr> Wow, that norovirus sounds nasty.

Thanks for that! @Andre: I hope I stay way clear of a nervous breakdown! @Patricia: Being sick with the entire family wasn't fun, but we have a lot of family closeby and a hospital around the corner, so it wasn't frightening. If it would've happened in the middle of nowhere, it would have been really frightening that's for sure! @Mark: I might just let the goal go, I'm just not sure I'm ready to do that yet. The past year has been a big learning experience in goal setting, that's for sure. I hadn’t realized that life probably is trying to tell me something, but I think you guys are right.

Anyway, 2,500 subscribers is a big number & I bet that if you let that goal go, & write what you want in your own voice, you'll get there quicker anyway! I envy your ski trip to Switzerland. Here in Noosa (Queensland Australia) it's autumn & the blanket's just gone on the bed. Next thing I'll have to wear a shirt to work. Lodewijk,

I truly believe that all challenges bring gifts if we can only learn to look for them. Illnesses can be your body's way of getting your attention to tell you to take better care of yourself. It sounds like you did well just being with yourself. Glad you are better. It is hell when the whole family gets sick at the same time. I remember when my son was a baby, my husband and I both got the flu at the same time. The baby didn't get sick. My husband and I took turns dragging ourselves out of bed to feed and take care of our son when he cried for attention. That was a frightening experience. We didn't have any family close by to help out. We got through it.

Hopefully we can learn to do this more deliberately (by setting limits on work volume, by consciously scheduling fun and recreation into our lives) instead of waiting for nature's intervention, whether it's Norovirus or a nervous breakdown. I hope your physical and creative recovery is going well. Sometimes it helps to take your nose off the grindstone for a while to get perspective.
