Thank you so much for the cookie gift you sent. I haven't had cookies this delicious in a long time. It was just the moment I needed a break, and thanks to you, I was able to enjoy my day even more.

This morning, I woke up early to write an article I had been putting off for a long time. However, even with a pen in hand, the words didn't flow as much as I expected in my heart.

Before I knew it, I was lost in thought, and instead of writing, I started looking for the reason why I couldn't focus. My desk was clean, there was no laundry piled up, and I even had my lunch prepared in advance. Everything was ready, but why wasn't I able to write? It's strange, I thought, it's strange, and then I realized I hadn't taken enough rest.

I put down my pen for a moment and headed to the garden. With the cookies you sent, of course. In our garden, the flowers that herald the summer are in full bloom, and the sight of red roses, yellow sunflowers, and blue lavender intertwining is like a colorful spectacle. As a gentle breeze blew through the flowers, filling the air with their fragrance, I enjoyed a crunchy cookie, and I felt like I was in heaven.

We often forget the rest we need as we go about our busy lives. But if we've been working hard, I think we deserve a break. This is an important process to gain new strength.

It is important to keep running. But sometimes, it's also important to stop, look around, and enjoy the beauty of nature. These moments of rest give us new energy, giving us the power to run again.

You said you made these cookies because you felt like you needed a break too. But then you also said you were wondering if it was okay to take a break.

I totally understand your concerns. But here's what I think. It's okay to not always be so busy. It's not a waste of time to stop and look around and find the punctuation that you need. In fact, punctuation is what gives us the power to go further and stronger.

I think that by allowing a little pause in our lives, we can gain even more energy.

P.S.

I have so much to say, but I don't always get to say it all.
