A Lesson from Eat, Pray, Love

I'll be honest. I never read the book and the movie wasn't my favorite. The soundtrack on the other hand was freakin' awesome. There is one thing I took away from Eat, Pray, Love that hit close to home. It's learning to appreciate doing nothing and taking breaks.

This is the longest "vacation" I've ever taken away from work while being employed. I can't describe how damn good it felt. Sometimes, I'd have things to do, but most of the time, I could do whatever pleased me. That to me is the good life.

My first day back is Wednesday. It's not that I hate my job or anything. I actually like it. It pays the bills, I can eat and buy myself nice things every now and again. But to be honest, I wish I could just live worry free and do nothing. Maybe I should have bought a damn Mega Millions ticket. Ah well.

Reality, I fucking hate you.
