DON'T TAKE A BREAK!!!!!!!! If you have the means to continue, then do it right away. I got my PPL and thought "I'm going to take a little break and just enjoy flying". Well that break was almost 2 years. It was hard to get back into the swing and something always "came up". It is sort of like going back to school I guess. Now I am back into it full time and will not be taking anymore "breaks" till I have my 3 CFI ratings.
