Time to reconnect with what’s actually important.
Brilliant documentary Apollo 13: Survival on Netflix. Incredible footage of a truly incredible story.
I really love this simple message, somehow lost on a few

I’ve had 2 types of support this week and relied on both. The first is a wrist splint following last weekend’s tumble on the ice. The 2nd in my partner helping, listening and doing whatever mundane simple thing I’ve been suddenly been unable to accomplish. You are, and have been amazing.
