Away (Feb. 24)

Life does not necessitate that you revolve around a particular place or have connection to that place every waking second of the day yet it seems more and more tha case in the world today that you should have that connection. A funny thing happens though when you take time to truly be away from it all. Much like a recent commercial for a cruise company where a child does not recognize her own dad while he is on the ship, there is a sense that a real you emerges when you are not tied down to the stresses of everyday life. Should it really take being "away" to see who you really are? The answer should be no but too often the answer is yes. A career may not always be the best fit for who you are but it shouldn't take you to a point that you are not allowed to be yourself. In this instance you do need to get away. It is not a bad thing nor should it ever be looked at as a bad thing.
