In the last days of the year, as more and more people go on leave, I realize how important their presence is to me.

It is energizing to be around colleagues. And when they’re gone, it’s like the energy has been sapped. So the final stretch wants us to go slower, to rest more.

And maybe, this is the moments we need to check in with ourselves. To connect with ourselves, and recalibrate for the upcoming year. And maybe, that connection will give us the strength to continue. For, while the year is ending, project you, God-willing, continues into the next year.
