A few days ago, I had virtually locked myself in my office, trying to get work finished ahead of the holiday weekend. I had not left the room for hours. My demeanor was intense, serious, and stressed. When I finally did emerge for a coffee run to the kitchen, my daughter, Lulu, lovingly greeted me as she always does, to which I responded with a terse, “Mm-hmm.”
I returned to my office with a fresh cup of coffee and an unchanged demeanor. Minutes later, my cell phone dinged with a text alert. I let out an annoyed sigh because I had to stop what I was doing and check to see what the text was about. It was from my daughter. She had sent me a video. This video.
So, with that spirit of silliness, I returned to work this week—as I know you have as well—and urge you not to take it all so seriously.
Thank you, Lulu-bird!
