It was a wonderful week as our community reunited and shared stories of holiday revels. The children are coming easily back into the rhythm of their school days and seem genuinely pleased to see each other and happy to play and work.
As we move deeper into the Winter I wanted to share a post from the Parenting Passageway about finding rhythm in our lives as parents. Although it's written to mothers it applies equally to fathers and I hope it will inspire each of us to care for ourselves as we care for our children.
Wishing you all a healthy and happy new year.
