Step Away from the Computer and No One Gets Hurt

The frustration level on one aspect of a writing project had reached a zenith, and yesterday, I needed a break.

Did I travel to a large body of water and listen to soothing splashing sounds? No.
Did I walk in the woods, letting birdsong and rustling leaves calm my soul? No.
Did I ride my bike so all that pent up anxiety could be expended as energy? No.

I cleaned my house, weeded my flower garden and reseeded some bald spots in the lawn. At the end of the day, I could say to myself (for a change), "Look how much I accomplished!"

Now it's time to get back to work on the hard projects.
