First off, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss with the passing of your husband.

I think you make a number of excellent points in your article. And it got me thinking: we spend a lot of time teaching our children about the value of work and how to go about work and how to do it well. That is important, no question. But why don't we, as a society, pay more than lip-service to the cultivation of relaxation skills including, for example, the development of hobbies and side-interests like learning to play piano.
