Take a deep breath

 “How much pain they have cost us, the evils which have never happened.”

Thomas Jefferson

Yesterday was a very disquieting day.

It's just something about Thursdays!

Today is Friday.

A new day.

A fresh start.

Well , maybe not as fresh as I might like. The residual effect from

Thursday has left me exhausted.

I had scheduled an 8:30 medical appointment for today. While preparing for the day today I realized that inadvertently I had left my phone here in the office last night.

My phone which has my drivers license and all of my credit cards.

There would not be enough time to go get my phone, drop Max at the bus and then get to my appointment.

It was in that moment that I understood that I needed to take a deep breath and just chill a bit.

It has been a very long journey.

And every now and then, I have to remember that it's okay to veer to the right and get out of the fast lane.

Nothing on today's agenda is mission critical.

Whatever gets accomplished today will just add to the win column.

Tomorrow will pretty much be the same.

Sunday and Monday will both be days where we will be pressed to accomplish a multitude of tasks with very little margin for error.

I will make the best of the day today.

There will be many pauses and deep breaths.

I dare say if the office here had an easy chair, I would consider closing my eyes for a bit.

Instead, I may put my feet up a bit later on in the day.

For now, long deep cleansing breaths.

Not the worst way to approach the day after Thursday!

Shabbat Shalom!
