    That’s correct !
    Too many things happening too fast is an indication to pump the breaks, stop and restart. This time more carefully ! ❤️

    Of course, things will certainly work if you plug them in from the beginning. Pay attention. 😎

    Leave it to Anne LaMott to solve our problems–in fifteen words (with a dash of humor). Thank you for sharing her wise advice, Mitch!

    This should be up on posters in the workplace, even if you work from home 😊

    Rather than unplugging myself from the electronic current, it might serve better to unplug myself from current affairs for a while……agghghhnhnh!

    It’s good to unplug for a while. When the weather is fine, I start every day by sitting on the deck listening to the birdsong and watching the sun come up. It puts everything in perspective. 💖📚
