I took a break for over 2 years once and that's it. Writing is therapeutic for me and I enjoy the camaraderie here so much, I don't see a need for a break!

I was very active in 2008 & 2009, then I took some time off as I was not very active in the real estate business (I was running my digital marketing agency). I just re-engaged in August of this year as I am now working in the timeshare exit industry and as a referral real estate agent.

Too often! Actually I don't take a break from AR, just have occasions where for weeks there are too many "must do" items for me to have time for the pleasure of participating here. Like getting to the ocean, I come to the Rain as often as I can.

I don't take a break from Active Rain.
When I flip the switch, lots of activities are left static.
When the switch if flipped on, I pick up again those with redeeming value.
This reset happens about every five years.

I take a break each and every day. Usually for at least 6 hours during the wee hours of the night.
I can stop whenever I want. See? I stopped right there.
And again. See how easy it is?

I have not missed signing on in over 3 years, but I only spend about 30 minutes total here daily. Blogging is my daily exercise as an author, I have to write daily to improve my skills. It's all for fun, it's not work to me. I'm an early riser, so most of my AR is done between 5 a.m. and 7 a.m. while the rest of the house slumbers.

I'm glad you are back Praful Thakkar - definitely notice when you are not, and always hope that life is going well. If we are either away for a few days or I'm overwhelmed with life, and not necessarily work, I take a break, but it's never a planned break!

Had my busiest real estate year in my career so focused on that and my novel writing, but I check in everyday to keep a pulse on what's going on.
Wishing you all a very blessed and joyful season.
