A Little Spring Break

It was great to take a little spring break and do nothing for 6 days!

I took long walks along the shores of Long Island Sound to think and reflect, stopping every now and then to watch the hypnotic sea waves, seagulls, sailboats and lonely fishermen. The sea breeze has a calming effect and refreshingly soothing.

I took subway rides into Manhattan just to remind myself why it is such a wonderful feeling to not have to commute into the city to work. During peak hours, the subways and subway stations are hell holes packed with humanity, with everyone on the platform trying to squeeze in to the subway cars to beat time to work. Freedom from such daily commuting stress is a blessing. No word can describe the joy of being freed from such a brutal daily chore.

Watching close-up and from a distance reminds me why I do what I do - work for myself - no boss to report to.

This is freedom!
