[blparent] Everyone needs a break

[Veronica Smith]

I always look forward to our state NFB convention each year- just me and my
friends.  Well this year it happens to fall on the last day of school, so
Gab is coming with.  Oh well, maybe next year.  She is so excited, she has
all these plans, boy won't she be surprised to find out it is just more
schooling. Smile! V

V., I agree with how important "me time" is.  I don't have a 
weekly schedule, but I get out as often as possible.  The 1  
recent thing I've discovered, and look forward to, is a weekend 
for the blind, hosted by our local Lion's club.  A few hours a 
month, and 1  weekend once a year doesn't seem like enough to me, 
so a few girl friends and I are going to plan an anual weekend 
away, in the Fall, up north, in NH..
