I really love this entry. 1-3 months leave sounds awfully good right about now. Back from a 10-day vacation just 3 weeks ago and the benefits have worn off I think. Kudos to companies that support the well being of their productive and loyal staff! I will share this list as a resource for the readers of my college career blog. This way, new grads can get a sense of what they could work towards. Marcie Marcia Robinson @ BullsEye's last blog post..Time to Reconnect

Great blog….thank you for your insights. An update on Accenture. They just deployed a “self-funded” sabbatical program and have won several workplace awards for it. All employees with 3 years’ service are eligible for 1-3 months leave. For a growing list of companies that offer sabbaticals (and I AGREE that they should be mandatory!!), see “Companies on a Quest” at http://www.yoursabbatical.com.

Hi Karl. I was in the neighbourhood on Liz's Blog to Show and thought I'd pop in to say hi. I like the atmosphere of your blog and will be back for more reading. This was a good post. It is true that we often forget to appreciate the smaller things. Davina's last blog post..Core Value Statements

Hi Karl, I like the part where you said, "looking back at the story we created". Even at work we make memories. Often by looking back, we can see how far we've come. This is especially true when we work our way up, from the bottom. Barbara Swafford's last blog post..See Me On Liz’s “Blog To Show”

Just stopping by from Liz Strauss's Blog Show. As a recovering perfectionist, I found it hard to work happy because the work was never "good enough," but I'm finally on the other side of that, and I've realized self-acceptance and releasing limiting thoughts makes the whole world a brighter place.

Hey Janelle, we all need to find our comfortable stress level. When we are aware of how we are overworking ourselves we must learn to pull back, gain perspective and work at a more moderate pace. Our health is more important than just accomplishing tasks.

another great article…I love what I do for a living but often find that I am completely and totally DRAINED. There is a lot of work involved in what I do, and often I find that with no one holding back the reins on me, I tend to work longer hours. It’s difficult not to be a workaholic, and I think it is important for people to realize that even if they do enjoy what they do for a living, they need to make sure that they are putting themselves, their health and their relationships with others first. We need to remind ourselves to take a break and step away from work.
