Raise your hand if you dragged across the finish line of this work week just grateful that you could Scarlet O’Hare your email. Y’all know the line, “I won’t think about it now!”

This week took all my air.

I don’t really have any words of wisdom for anyone this year. Just know, if this week kicked your butt a bit, you were not alone.

Take your rest. Hug a tree. Be kind to yourself.

Ah, see there, I found a couple of good words.
