I always find the first week to be a little rough, and this year seemed to be exceptionally intense. Even though the energy of our society goes from vacation mode to busy bee status overnight, it's still the season of rest and restore…

As much as I love the holiday season, the part of my brain that struggles to stay present knows that it will inevitably be followed by an extremely long winter. And that knowledge always threatens to dampen my spirits a little…
