I took a huge break earlier this year while I was caring for my dying eskie after having lost my next oldest eskie the previous Thanksgiving. I needed to focus on her & then I needed to focus on me after I lost her.....it was the longest time away from PC I had (2+ months)....but it's good to take a break at times & take some time to just focus on one's own life & things that need to get done
Glad you are back.....glad you took the break you needed
