Mina, I love everything about this post...

How do I say in thoughtful words, that I agree with each idea? How do I say that this is so inspiring in a life changing way? Not sure I can articulate at the moment so then it's a... hearty
brava....for all of it!

How strange that a post about tiredness could take some of my day's tiredness away. Yes, sometimes all you need is a meal by the window, a glass of wine and a bit of Monk. Wonderfully written, Mina. Hugs to help with all things tiring and trying.
