    When time off is not abundant it can be difficult to see family and take a truly restful holiday in the same year. And there is nothing wrong with telling the people who love you what you need. Controlling their reactions to what you say, however, is a tall order.

    Some people are naturally better at taking care of themselves and getting what they know they need. The rest of us could learn a lot from them.
