Six months gave a reasonable work break after years of working, not quite enough, yet long enough to make it memorable.
It would be wonderful if companies consider sabbatical leave as a way for employees to refresh mind and soul; and return more productive.
With six months, it was possible to do meaningful learning related to a field. Beyond blogging, I had enough time to try out creating app, an epiphany through hands-on learning on software as service and Agile software approach; tried new education model and did volunteer services; let alone many hobbies I enjoy. Time and relaxed mindset injects the creativity and energy into life about many interesting things in life. There are still so many things on the list I could have wanted. Life has been a lot more busy!
Then, a good position brings challenges, rhythm, and rewards. One cannot get everything. I am back to work.
