It is time to gnome meditate. (Om. It is time to go and meditate…)

The season is not getting any lighter, any less stressful, any less traffic-y, or even warmer.

There is a quarter inch of snow on the ground, the fridge is full of random leftovers some no longer identifiable, the e-mail is still coming in with work to be done by the end of the year and…

It is time to take a break.

• Breathe.
• Relax.
• Repeat after yourself.
• Om.
• Ommmmm.

In fact if you don’t gnome meditate and take some time for yourself, you might not make it to the end of next week without losing it – or eating dozens of cookies, donuts and mounds of mashed potatoes. So, do your best and just laugh if you can’t do anything else, because that might work, too.
