1. It’s summer.

2. The sun is out and the lake/mountain/river/park/forest/ocean/backyard is calling.

3. You’ve been working hard.

4. Why the hell not?

5. The people who depend on your leadership will appreciate a calmer, happier you.

6. It’s not the same as taking a whole day off – it’s more like a “pick-me-up.”

7. It would delight both your ancestors and those who will come after you.

8. It’s been many years since you played “hooky.”

9. Your leadership will be strengthened.

10. It’s summer.

From my heart to yours,
