Shabbat Shalom

It's the 6th of January, and already I can feel stress rising up like a volcano to take over my life. Weekends, and especially Sabbaths, are crucial to my coping during the rushed start of the year.

Although it seems I'm in for a busy one (dad's here for the weekend, lots planned, including article research/writing), I know that I will not survive the coming work-week without at least a few hours of solitude, silence and refreshing.

Your year may not have started as mine has. You may feel all rested after the festive season time-off, but remember to take the time needed for your body and soul to recuperate this weekend, before it's too late.
