At 2 in the afternoon yesterday, I hopped in my car and drove 2 hours to the beach. I sat in the sun and gazed out at the ocean while the kids played in the sand. We took a long walk along the beach, did a little window shopping in the local town, then went out to dinner. We watched the sun set behind the perma-cloud spanning the horizon, then drove back home. The worst thing about being self-employed is that I don't do that sort of thing more often. I feel much more pressure to constantly work - even if I'm not being productive. I used to think the hardest thing would be self-motivation, but really I've found the hardest thing is forcing yourself to stop working and take a needed break. (Oh, that and taxes. I hate doing taxes)
