http://yoga-practicing-mindfulness.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Life of a budding yogini, on and off the mat. Friday, March 7, 2014. I am having to re-evaluate most things, including work. My PTO bank is extremely high because I never take time off. Even when I am sick, I work. I constantly feel like I am letting someone down in my life, because I aim to make everyone else happy. So I am going to take my two days, despite issues that are coming up and meetings that I should attend. My co-workers can handle it without me, and notify me of any changes when I return.
