But back to snow days and such. I think everyone has a little special place in their heart where they suddenly become a fourth grade kid the second school is cancelled because of snow. Anyone? ...Maybe that's just me? I really don't know. Regardless, the snow days were quite the needed break for most students, and professors alike. It gave us all a little weekend in the middle of the week to get some extra sleep, studying, or snow football in.
I like to think that breaks are a necessary part of life (that's how I justify naps in the middle of the day). The more I think about it, the more I think that I'm onto something here. Think about in the bible. So much emphasis, especially in the hebrew culture, is put on a day of rest. So much so that in hebrew law you can only button a few buttons on your shirt without breaking the law! Those people were serious about breaks! I understand why too; in Genesis, the last thing God did in the creation story was rest.
So here's the idea: take a break. We're always so busy say in and day out that we forget what it's like to be quiet, and to rest. I cannot tell you the value of rest, because it is different for each person, but if I was to put a ridiculous statistic on it, I'd say it's ten percent luck twenty percent skill, fifteen percent concentrated power of will, five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain, and a hundred....wait...that's not right. Fun, interactive dots anyone?
yes, I did spend about half an hour messing around with that stupid, yet strangely addicting game, and yes, my roommate watched the whole time. I digress... It's time for one of my quaint little summaries where I tell you what I think you should do with your life!
Take a break people. I'm serious. We spend so much time going that we don't know how to stop. That gets old really quickly.
