This reminds me of writing detailed out of office notifications during my tenure in the corporate world. I wish you all the best in your existing and new gigs @paulag. I took a little break myself recently, but maintained some activities much like what you will be doing.
I believe some break here an there is great, specially like yours where you are doing something of value to you and another community. It helps us grow as individuals and professionals, and that growth we can use later on to share here in Steemit. Best of luck!
