What I learned from spending a refreshing vacation with my family

Thank you for your continued support.
This is Kashiwamochi.

Although I say "this time," this actually happened last year, but I
took advantage of the "refreshment leave system."

What is the Refreshment Leave System?

Please refer to the following article for details on our refresh leave system:

I had a refreshing vacation

Due to the impact of the coronavirus, it has been difficult to go to many places, but
my family and I took a short trip to a mountain and river that are not crowded.

Since becoming a working adult, I haven't had many extended periods of time off, and we
haven't often gone anywhere together as a family, so
this was our first family trip since our current family structure was established.

I spent the first few days preparing for the trip and taking care of the garden

It had been quite a while since I'd gotten a decent night's sleep.
I was surprised at how energetic I was in the morning after a good night's sleep.

I visited the mountains and rivers with my family

My daughter and son tried skipping stones for the first time in the mountains and by the river.
They're throwing them from above. It looks like they'll just end up splashing in.

time the whole family had gotten together and gone on a short trip
, so I think they were quite satisfied.

*This is being done outside of the state of emergency period

I took care of the garden

I weeded the garden.
It's been several years since I moved into this house, but I
finally got around to tending to the garden, which I hadn't really been able to do much of until now.

However, I haven't had the time to do that this year, so
the weeds have become a real problem.
The Houttuynia cordata is terrible.

Other things I did

・I made a Gunpla

・It's been a while since I last played a bunch of console games

I made sweets with my partner

・I read the books that had been piling up

Back to work

Returning to work refreshed,
I've noticed many shortcomings in my work ethic that I hadn't realized before.
I realized how important rest is.

summary

Kashiwamochi, a workaholic, has been working for over a week

It was my first experience not being involved in work,

I was a bit nervous and a bit upset, but I think I had a very meaningful time

I realized how important it is to rest my body and how important it is to spend time with my home

I am extremely grateful to the company for giving me this opportunity

We will continue to make it easier for all our colleagues to work

I would recommend this to anyone looking for a refreshing break
