... from the Greek word sabbatikos, σαββατικόσ, of course!
I am lucky to have a sabbatical this year! Good thing, I need it, and dare I say I deserve it. Yes... I said it, I deserve it. Dictionary.com defines sabbatical as bringing a period of rest, yes sweet underrated rest. It also defines it as an extended period of leave from one's customary work, especially for rest (there's that rest thing again!), to acquire new skills or training.
Hoping to do both during the warm, sunny days of summer - starting today. My expectations are high, but that's most likely cause I'm still a bit wound up from the day-to-day, and just about as excited as I can remember. Stay tuned, as I get rested and acquire new skills, many (not all) which I will share here over the next six, yes 6 weeks!
Thank you Doctor, it's always good to get this kind of support from the medical community. Hope there is one in your near future as well!
