i’ve missed a year.  Even before 2020 hit i was in, what felt like, a place of stasis.  i was getting tired of my routines and struggling to see where changes could be made…and then a pandemic.  It has been a year of loss on so many fronts, jobs, freedoms and lives.  The period of forced quiet and rest means time to regenerate, take stock and make change.  Change however is hard and sometimes painful, old routines still tug at my coat tails…like a plaintive child.
