There is a concept I must have touched on previously, but did I spotlight it? Give it its due? I’m not even sure at this point. Regardless, it bears a revisit. All ways, always. Because I surely need my own reminder. It is about feeling all of the feelings, not just searching for the ones …
During this pandemic, there is no shortage of opinion or meme to convey what we should be doing with our time away from our daily grinds – for those of us who have the momentary pause, that is. Certainly, there are different impacts across the board. I saw a writing earlier by an unknown author …
