Yesterday
officially started the Major League Baseball all-star break. It’s a four-day window
in the baseball season for all teams to catch their collective breaths.
Yes, there is an all-star game tonight and some festivities last night, but
90+% of the players that play in the league get some much needed rest.
I bring
this up not to promote the sport, particular players, or even tonight’s
game. Instead, I like the idea of taking such a break. I think all
too often in our day-to-day lives we don’t take the time to really take a break
from the mundane. We just go from event to event without even
pausing. Our kids and their events take over our lives, and when we
finally get any time we fill that time up as well instead of taking the time to
relax.
So, today
it’s a simple lesson: learn to take a break. All of the major sports
take a break in their seasons in order to relax, and all of us “regular people”
should do the same thing. It’s hard to stay sharp year round if you don’t
give yourself a break here and there!
God bless.
