Goals and Aspirations

At work we're in the middle of goal-setting for the next fiscal year, and my main one is going to be achieving better work-life balance. I'm getting a lot of stuff in order for my backup exec assistants to handle should I be out for any reason, and I'm hoping one reason will be vacation-oriented, but in the meantime I'm still just so tired I can't think about that. One of the side-effects of how stress (about Mom and about the country's future) seems to be a sudden inability to catch my breath. If this dyspnea gets worse I'll have to consult my doctor, but for now I think I can get it under control with better and more frequent meditation exercises. Oh well, at least the new sneakers seem to be helping...
