The definition of a break

Since I am constantly doing something, and every Christmas I find a project to work on, one of my friends joked with me that I need to revisit the definition of a "break". He is partially correct. Rest is an important thing, but I am not very good at sitting around and doing nothing all day. More than giving me energy, doing nothing really sucks it away from me. Besides, I know that one day I will no longer have the same level of energy than I have today. And then, as I grow older, my health may also been taken away. So the way I think about it is that when those days come, I will not look back and kick myself for not taking advantage of my energy, and my health, when I had a chance.
