I was resting and transitioning, but now I am back. Again, I am seeing the value of lowering goals/expectations to just touching frequently--when schedules get hectic and life in general happens, you need to be able to be able to maintain contact, if even briefly. Not letting the flame die for too long. Rest is important, but once you are rested, what then? That uncomfortable guilty feeling of unproductivity, I know it well. And I am getting better at slipping productivity in, and making it easier, so I am happier and thus more willing to keep working instead of sulking and brooding.
