Totally believe this is a better way to sanity and health for all of us--to slow the train down, especially now. Thanks for posting the story about how to do that.

Loved the story about the farrier! There's research that suggests our positive interactions with strangers add actual time to our lifespan (from the "Blue Zones" longevity work coming out of Sardinia, also featured in the Netflix doc "Live to 100"). It's so hard to make time for it, though, when the ergonomics of our lives disincentivize it. Nice to read other people live with this tension, too.

My (aspirational) intention for the holidays: Beatific patience with my children, i.e., to give them time
