Into the future we go, September already and I am a column behind. Time got away from me last week but that’s OK. I will share a bit of wisdom I received lately. In difficult times, move forward in small steps. Do what you have to do, but little by little. Don’t fret about the future, or what may happen tomorrow. Wash the dishes. Remove the dust. Write a letter. Make a soup. You see? You are advancing step by step. Take a step and stop. Rest a little. Praise yourself. Take another step. Then another. You won’t notice, but your steps will grow more and more.
