The benefits of marking time.

It's all right to mark time. For a while.  As a way of getting respite. I do that regularly. As a way of taking a break. From the rigors of life.  The harsh realities.  The setbacks and disappointments. That enter virtually everyone's life. But I cope effectively. By going through periods of marking time. Which allows me to replenish my physical and mental and emotional stamina. For the next battle. For the next adventure. For the rest of my meaningful life --Jim Broede
