This number keeps popping up, in front of me lately and I can't figure out why.

The first one is not a big surprise. About a month before my 4th birthday on the chain, I hit the reputation 72. It could have come earlier or later but in any case it was something that I was expecting to happen. Which doesn't apply to the next appearances of this ambiguous number!

Starting from December 1st and till 3 days ago I broke, by far, my record in every day posting. I wanted to work a bit on my consistency and when sjarvie5@sjarvie5 started her own 30 days challenge I thought it would be nice to keep her company for a while. In December I had a lot of work at the farm so I didn't expect it to last long but it turned out that I kept going for 72 days straight! I never though I could last for so long without a break, I even wrote a recap post about my experience on the 47th day, not knowing of course that there was going to be almost one more month to it!

And then with the same unannounced and unexpected way come the break. Thursday to Friday was an overwhelming period of time for me. A series of events and news, coming all together, one after another, in less than 24 hours was just too much to handle. And I paused myself. I paused my work on the farm, I paused my tasks on the computer, I paused my presence on the chain, in short I paused practically everything. And it lasted 72 hours!

On the bright side, I could use some rest and I think that is is always good to spend some time thinking, without the distractions of every-day's affairs.

The pictures are taken a couple of years ago and I have probably used them before, with different edits. I chose them in an attempt to illustrate the progress of my mood those three days. I am not sure if I succeeded but I hope that you, at least, like the pictures!
