Two of my favorite words in the English language are "lunch break," especially when there is work involved on either side of said break. Today I blog from my desk at work where I am taking a lunch while I check some emails (personal, not work related, so this truly is a lunch break).
Work has been especially trying lately, but I have a feeling things might go into an upswing soon. I need to get on my game and start hiring a couple more people to help out in the afternoons. There are a whole lotta kids and not a lot of eyes to watch over them, and my first priority is to keep these kiddos safe. Because of these trying times, I look forward to the lunch break.
The food isn't anything spectacular. I bring a lunch packed at home...usually a small salad, light yogurt, and some fruit. It's the peace of mind of 30 minutes of solace in the middle of an otherwise hectic day. It's the ability to do some personal business and find my center again. It's time to reflect on ways to improve my work, so I am more effective. It's five minutes to talk to my husband and get some encouragement to keep pushing through the rest of the afternoon. It's time to listen to music and study choreography as I prepare myself for certification to teach BODYCOMBAT (I made it through the instructor training this past weekend!! A couple more practice sessions and I will start team teaching). It's time to study God's word in preparation for leading junior high small groups.
All this to say, I really love taking lunch breaks.

I hear ya, nap time is wonderful. A few moments of time alone to do whatever I want/need to. Sweet nap time! It is amazing how a few moments of rest can recharge you to attack the rest of the day.
