I was going to start this post out with an image of a suicidal squirrel. You know... a squirrel high-tailing it out onto the asphalt just when a mini-van full of screaming kids comes charging up the hill doing 45 mph on a residential street. Then I happened upon the image of Super Squirrel in her flashy hidden super suit. Super Squirrel laughs in the face of danger. She charges ahead knowing that she's faster than the mini-van on a mission. She can beat it. She'll get to the other side, scramble up the nearest oak and grab as many acorns as her little paws can hold.Lately I've felt like both Suicidal Squirrel and little miss Super Squirrel. I'm darting off into traffic because I'm running full steam and haven't been able to take the time to see what's around me. I just go. And go. And go. And hope I make it to the other side.
And when I make it there, I turn around flashing my super "S" and think, "That wasn't so bad! Throw some more at me! I can take it!" And so it begins again.
This Super Squirrel needs to take a load off. But how to do it and avoid the mountains of guilt that comes with the feeling that I'm slacking? Aye - there's the acorn.

i am right there with you. and it really is ok to take a break every once in a while, or slow down...
ok this just made me think of the other day i was driving down the free way and a pigeon just flew and stopped in the road right in front of me, staring me down...it didn't end well for him...just make sure when you take a break you don't do it in the freeway! :)
