                <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is Monday of the first of two holiday weeks. This is a good time to pull back a bit, reflect on things from a different perspective. <img style="margin: 5px 0px 5px 10px; float: right;" alt="" src="https://timsstuff.s3.amazonaws.com/blogs/Yosemite_Valley_Winter_shutterstock_41830153_Peter_Weber.jpg"  class="img-fluid lightbox" />It’s really good that our various religions, cultures, and traditions remind us, every once in a while, to slow down and think. Especially this year, which has been a tough one for a lot of us, an especially difficult year for small business, entrepreneurship, economics, health care, and politics.</p>
<p>Let’s pause a bit from normal business. Let’s think about what matters most, whatever that is, for each one of us. And then ask whether the way we spend ourselves – time, effort, stress, dreams – matches what’s most important to us.</p>
<p>One thing I’d like to suggest, is looking for the common denominators we can all agree on. Like<a href="http://charterforcompassion.org/" target="_blank"> compassion</a>. That ought not to be controversial.</p>
<p>I don’t mean to be “preachy” (my daughter’s word). When I get all goody-goody like this, please don’t ask my wife about it. I can be as hypocritical as the next person, but jeez, at least we can remind each other once in a while, no? In this context, I&#8217;m really glad the well-known words of wisdom are “let he who is without sin cast the first stone.” Instead of “let he (or she) who is without sin write blogs.”</p>
<p>Especially during the holidays.</p>
<p>And thank you for reading this blog. I like writing it and I’m grateful that my readership has grown a lot this year. Thanks for linking here, thanks for tweeting here, and thanks especially for your comments.</p>
