I started writing Humility Part 2 early this morning with the plan to post it later today. Then I spent a lovely few hours getting to know a new friend and colleague, and I had lunch with my youngest daughter who is in town for the week. As I began to tie up some loose work ends this afternoon, I reminded myself that it’s not just ok—it is vital—to slow down when we have the opportunity. The need for humility will still be here in January.
I hope you all enjoy gatherings with family or friends, space on your own for reflection and rest, and/or time in your happy place to celebrate, relax, or refuel. In other words, however you choose to spend time away from work (whether it’s this week or another time), I hope you find and do what is most meaningful and beneficial to you.
