(To join Blog Your Blessings Sunday, and get your name on the blogroll, click on the banner above and follow the simple instructions.)The Free Dictionary defines a pit stop as, " A brief stop for rest and refreshment, especially during an automobile trip."
Just like an automobile trip, we need pit stops in life too. In a car race, if we keep going without making use of the pit stops, we run the risk of a burst tire, or some mechanical failure, resulting in a loss. Similarly, we need to make sure that we have enough pit stops in our life. Without them we push ourselves towards burnout. These days it is very easy to forget to rest - there is always something that needs to be done.
This could be one of the reasons a lot of people are getting tired of their jobs and lives these days. In fact, I remember, a few years ago, the general perception was that heart attacks hardly ever happen to someone who is under 40. These days it is not uncommon to hear people in their thirties getting heart attacks. I think this is a trend that needs to be reversed.
I took a first step in that direction by taking the whole week off, and just relaxing for the whole week. That was my pit stop, and I hope that this stop has rejuvenated me enough for the days to come.
Have a great week ahead!

aah.. congratulations on the much needed pit stop.. i like the analogy.
nice updations..keep doin!!
I think we all need a regular rest, but our jobs and our culture tell us resting is a sign of laziness. So we push too hard.
I hope you have a blessing filled week :)
