You put this out there very well. It is inspiring and honest. You weren't biased or closed off completely to any potential future (though, I think we are all rooting for a similar one ;P). I have to admit, my sabbatical brought a little self-conviction from this post. It was necessary to get my life more in order so I can bring more value in the future, however. I'm just really glad to be back with this community.
Cheers!
Lots of people take time off from here (I haven't - but I am not lots of people) and come back stronger and more ready, many take that time and come back weaker each time. In my experience consulting in companies, the more often someone avoids work, the higher the frequency of avoidance becomes. It is habit building.
Makes a lot of sense. :)
