I will say that I have been better at this during the past year because my health has forced me to. But I still feel guilty about it!

PS I don't consider walking with a friend to be a break for me because it stresses me out. But that's the beauty of it, we each know what we need to fill up, and we should do those things.

Haha, I try to take some time. I'm just a productive gal — what can I say? I do lunch with a friend at least once a week and I try to walk ocne a week with a friend as well. 🙂

Thanks for this. Heaven knows we can all use a boost from time to time– a free pass to take care of ourselves. Where does all of that mom guilt come from, anyway?
