Welcome back Jeff! My version of the proverb "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is "All work and no play will drive you insane".

We all need breaks, otherwise our lives become unbalanced and for me personally I get kind of neurotic if I do not force myself to take breaks. ;)

I've also found that I need breaks from my personal life as well (ie personal and family member issues/problems) and watch things like Rupert Spira and Dr Eben Alexander on YouTube to get myself recentered and to put things back into perspective. We all get to choose how we want to feel/think about anything all of the time. ;)
