This year started with great stress. The year before that was rather a lot as well.
Being able to pause, take a breath, and maybe regain a little balance before the new year begins seems like a really good thing.
I am incredibly grateful for it, (it's my third vacation-type excursion in twenty-four years).
May you also manage to find some breathing space. At some point. Eventually. Far more often than once every eight years! ;-)
