		<description>Hi Aretha,

Thank you for visiting. 

I guess holidays in the extreme could lead to retirement. I have heard at least one news analyst say we need to be very careful about taking time off right now, due to the economy. 

BTW, your name is the name of the artist I listen to most often!</description>

		<description>(Feb. 6 post)  Great Post.

How easy it is to get caught up in the many details of promoting and managing the business, as well as trying to improve skills and knowledge.

There&#039;s nothing like those &quot;holidays&quot; and mind-clearing weekends.

BTW, your &quot;style tips&quot; are great reading

		<description>Hi Kathie,

It&#039;s good to hear from you. I am such an advocate of R&amp;R that I forget at times that there just isn&#039;t always time to take any when you are younger and have a young family or are building your career. It&#039;s easy to forget what that&#039;s like when you&#039;re in your fifties! (hmmm... born in the fifties and now living my fifties, interesting!)

I appreciate the tag but I think that one already came through here. I doubt anyone wants to read that much more about me! But the one I did previously is  &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.looseends.net/about-ktcosmos/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;. 

Happy weekend.</description>

		<description>I use the Christmas/New Year period in the same way - time to take stock and renew.

I&#039;ve just tagged you in a meme. See http://vadirectory.net/blog/2008/02/09/7-weird-things-about-me/ for full details!

Cheers, Kathie</description>
