Whew.
This last year has been so...crazy. Amazingly wonderful, as my husband and I welcomed our son into the world. Immensely sad, as my father passed away unexpectedly. Incredibly stressful, as my full-time job got even worse on the stress and demands front.
As I have done before, during periods of stress I withdraw into my spiralling snail shell, compact and compress, and wait. I'm starting to emerge slowly, realizing that after a while, one can suffocate in one's shell.
