An exciting thing happened to me on the weekend. A girlfriend lent me her apartment while she was interstate. She casually offered me the keys one day, oblivious to the impact of her act of kindness.

This week Jacqui discusses have a space of her own, albeit temporary. Read Jacqui's blog here. How do you take a break? Do you allocate time or a special place for it?
