...

In the pause between seasons, projects, quarters or simply one breath and the next is the chance to reflect

To ask yourself how you are feeling, in your head, in your heart, in your soul. To ponder your goals and your progress toward them,

The pause goes by name names

vacation

reset

firebreak

hiatus

time out

recess

interlude

even the ellipsis that I used to title this post is another conversational form of pause - an invitation to complete or build on the preceding thought...

And it is in those spaces between one thing and the next I/we find the opportunity to reenergize

It's the time of year and for many (but not all of us) after the frenetic consumerism and celebrations of the winter festival this week that offers a chance to use the pause to reset, take time out and plan who you're going to be in the year ahead.
