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
This is such an important and timely reminder. We’re hosting holidays this year and I’ve been in my head about how to make it enjoyable and memorable for everyone. Your thesis makes me think I should focus on being present and connecting with people, rather than ruminating about the details and flourishes. People want to be heard. Thank you.
