Had an amazing weekend at Virginia Beach.  Great to be there before the summer crowds really start packing the place.  Great to be with close friends.  Great to take the first plunge into the ocean for the season.  Great to get caught up on some sleep.

It’s always amazing to me how much 48 hours away can do to revive my soul, give me fresh perspective and renew creativity in me.

This post isn’t motivated by a belief that my weekend plans are a source of fascination for any of us.  Just wanted to remind all of us of the importance of rest.  As semesters wind down, find some time to get revitalized.  You don’t have to go the beach for that, but sure doesn’t hurt!  All you need is space to take a deep breath, people you can relax around and absolutely no agenda!  Even if it seems like you don’t have time, make time.

Rest is good!
