Art Burshy went away for a quick weekend to a more tropical location... he needed to recharge the batteries.
This rainy and windy autumn weather is okay for some days, even for some weeks...but after some time Art just needs some sun on his skin.
So he told his family he needed a weekend off...not because he doesn't want to be with them, not because they do not give him energy.
Art loves his wife and kids, and he loves his art, and he loves his work as a manager.
But one should always manage your energy levels; if you have no energy everything becomes more heavy and even the funniest and interesting things become a burden.
And Art also noticed that when you go low on energy and continue energy-spending stuff, it actually takes much longer to regain energy. So he had promised himself never to go beyond that zero-level.
So Art picked a weekend, and his wife picked the weekend after...because she needed it too...
When arriving he went to drop his stuff at the hotel, and ran straight to the beach...
Of course he smeared his skin with oil, and then he could feel the sun touch his skin...he could almost sense the vitamin D flowing from his skin into his body... and he fell in a deep deep sleep.
He woke up, felt really rested and his skin was glowing... and when he looked he saw he had some radiating skin...cadmium orange covering some deep red...
He smiled... sure this would be bloody painful, and he should not have gone so far...but sometimes you just have to dive in head first and accept the consequences...
He knew now that his skin would remind him the whole week of this weekend...so he picked up his towel, pencils and iPad and walked to the nearest terrace where he ordered a lovely glass of Chablis...
He knew that tomorrow when going back home he would really miss his wife and kids, dying to give them a hug... and Monday he probably would feel like working again...ready for giving and sharing energy for a few more months...
