Time to Celebrate Happy Fall Days
Well, fall is finally here, even though Missouri hasn't had much of a summer this year. I believe we had only one day over 100 degrees, and it's been wetter than I remember it used to be.
The fall colors promise to come out early this year and are expected to put on a good show.
Wherever you are, please take some time to take a break. My kids would say that I need a "chill pill." It's important to take a bit of a break this year because we didn't have our typical "summer slow down." Plan now to take a nice, long drive through your part of the country. We all need breaks.
Now, with the threat of H1N1 on the horizon and the usual busy winters respiratory therapists go through, it's really vital to hit the road before winter snowfalls hit. Now is the time to take a trip to see the leaves change.
Now is also a perfect time to watch the afternoon thunderstorms come in over the mountains or feel the chill in the air while you support your favorite football team on a cool, crisp autumn evening.
In my opinion, it's time for a break. Even if we can't take valuable time off from work, we can still make the most of our time away from the worksite. Ride your motorcycle for one last trip. Attend an event. Take a walk down a path through the woods.
Short breaks help us focus on what's important and re-energize us for the coming months.
You've earned the R&R. You need it. Now go out and enjoy it.
That's just my opinion.
