It's a good thing that you've figured this out while being on vacation and realize you are only human. I always wondered how you kept all those challenges and blogs going. I have a tough time with just one blog! Enjoy your time for you and your family and have fun creating as it should not become a chore! Life is too demanding at times and you were smart enough to realize you need to step back.
