I am not just going
Age is only a number and as such has whatever meaning you assign to it Today is my birthday. I love birthdays. They are personal holidays, and I have always been a fan of celebrating them. This is your unique, singular Happy New Year. Birthdays can be an incredible source of positivity. Some people see them this way. I know I do. But some people see birthdays as an increasing reminder of their pending mortality. Every year marks another year
Getting back to work after a vacation presents some unique challenges. After taking more than a week offline, I am finding returning to my regularly scheduled program a bit more difficult than I had anticipated. Why? I had a perfectly excellent time. I got to hang out with friends, disconnected and got in a ton of exercise, time outdoors, and sunlight. Though I certainly love my work, it’s not that I don’t have ideas for things to write about.
