Your approach to the "troubled times" surprised (and delighted) me. Fresh air in all this talk about campaigns, financial meltdowns, etc. I had the opportunity to stop in the Grant Grove of giant sequoia trees yesterday and take that 5 minute break. After a few moments of paying attention to some of the oldest living things on earth, I felt my perspective adjusting rather nicely away from panic and worry.
I'm right back on the web today, but I've got that experience in my backpocket as I forge ahead.
