Congratulations on a year—no small feat.

A note on our mirror says, “Beware the barrenness of a busy day.”

Busy and workaholism (for me) were avoidance techniques that told me I mattered. I still sometimes chase the siren’s song so I cannot judge.

Hard work and mental health exist in tension. I usually find the “balance” coming and going; it is not static.
