Slowing down

It was a strenuous week at work, coping with an edginess in the air. Colleagues and bosses wanting me to magic something out of thin air. Like a gremlin, my thoughts scatter. My promises follow jaggedly to appease the needs of others, but rarely solve the problems in any way whatsoever. 

What I do need is to stand still, slow down my heart, and get better at saying no to others and yes to myself.
