Taking a break

U2 in Charlottesville, VA

U2 in Charlottesville, VA

The past few weeks at work have been incredibly stressful, so I decided that it was time for a total mental break. Last night I took a road trip to Charlottesville with my friend, Danielle, to see U2 live at the University of Virginia. Yeah–it’s pretty silly to go, especially since they’re coming to Raleigh and I’ll be seeing there here, too. But it was a fantastic escape and an incredible show. They played:

Breathe
Get on Your Boots
Mysterious Ways
Beautiful Day
No Line on the Horizon
Magnificent
Elevation
Your Blue Room
New Year’s Day
I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
Stuck In A Moment
Unforgettable Fire
City of Blinding Lights
Vertigo
I’ll Go Crazy – Remix
Sunday Bloody Sunday
MLK
Walk On
One
Where The Streets Have No Name
Ultraviolet
With or Without You
Moment of Surrender

It was a fantastic show and just the break I needed. What do you do to de-stress when work responsibilities get overwhelming? What have you found to be therapeutic and energizing?
