Resiliency is not about pushing and brute forcing your way forward through pain, anguish, or “laziness.” It’s about your ability to bounce back, to stand up 8 times when you fall 7 seven times.

And, sometimes, that “bounce back” looks delayed because you needed to rest. That’s okay.

When you think back on your year, does life quickly turn drab and boring? Days bleed into each other. Weeks glob together. Months pass by until the year looks like one giant blob that is hard to tease one day from the next. Maybe you remember your (too short) vacation, the few family get-togethers, and a little bit from the holidays. You recall a few highlights in the year, like a wedding or the first day on a job.

If you tend to reach New Year’s Eve and think, *Another year. Where did all the time go?* Then stick around. This week, we’re building memories.

Have you walked by something that reminded you of your old friends, bringing up fond memories and making you miss them?

Life is busy. Paths diverge. Friendships often dissipate over time, and reconnecting can be difficult at first. So, this week, we’re rekindling the connection with our old friends.
