There's A Difference

There's a difference between being busy and being purposeful.  I've been very busy here, and not very purposeful.  And without a sense of self-directed purpose I feel superfluous, listless.  I've learned this at various times in my life.  Maybe I'll start to remember it one of these days.

Enjoy the vacation/break. It's a vacation/break.

I was tempted to also say that the break in your "real life" has been fun reading for your narrative arc ;)
