It's so refreshing to hear the message to slow down! Especially after the holidays. I felt as if the entire week between Christmas and New Years went by so quickly and all I remember was the work - cooking, dishes, cleaning, etc. Trying to find time to sit down with guests and TALK to them felt wrong. I often feel guilty if I'm spending too much time at home 'doing nothing', nothing productive in other words. Thank you for writing this article and providing the dialogue that encourages people to relax.
