It’s not because I’ve reached the state of nirvana that I’ve been so quiet, it’s because it’s been so busy here at work. Or perhaps it’s always been this busy and I’ve just been getting down to it. Either way – I’m here and I’m well and I’m working darned hard!

Glad to hear that. Your resolve is strong. You said ‘at least mentally’ …does that mean you’re not feeling well physically and/or emotionally? Or maybe that’s none of my business. 😊 I am well, thank you. Surfing the waves instead of letting myself be swept into the sea. Not literally, of course. 😉
