Today I find a brief respite in my work. Enough to feel “ok” about just letting things calm down in my mind a bit and just recollect. A friend of mine recently posted “rest and stillness are endangered in our species”. It definitely gave me food for thought today. I did reasonably well this month in terms of work accomplished.

So here we are…middle of the month of December already and it’s just flying by like mad. It never fails to feel like a crush this time of year.
