We all need distraction!

I don't remember where I got this but I saved it
It struck me.

"Every soul needs sanctuary—a quiet unfolding of time untouched by duty or demand. Maya Angelou's wisdom reminds us that stepping away is not abandonment, but a sacred act of self-preservation. In Paul Gauguin's 'The Siesta,' we see this truth painted into stillness: the body at rest, the mind unburdened, the spirit gently returning to itself. A day away is not an escape—it is a return to wholeness." ✨
