Ready or not. Like it or not.

Ready or not.
Like it or not.

Daylight savings arrives this weekend in Chicago.

To put it mildly, I’m not a fan.

Already spending so much time indoors, and now so much of it in the dark, the change of the clocks has me feeling nervous - and also thinking.

What about this situation can I control?

Regaining control of something - anything - when you feel you have so little is a win in itself, right?

So I’m considering shifting the start of my workday to noon.

The mornings would be for getting outside. Taking the long way to find a cup of coffee.
And if my body needs it, sleeping a little longer.

I respect that kids, spouses, jobs - and life in general - might require you to make a different choice.

But as there are few "perks" to small business ownership these days (!) I’m giving it some serious thought.

Happy lights and intentional expressions of gratitude are other ideas shared with me to help ease the transition to shorter, darker days. What ideas do you have?
