I am currently in a particularly busy time in my professional life. A colleague of mine has taken the opportunity to scold me at every occasion she can think of. I seem to bring the disapproving mother out of her.
Working around the clock means I haven't had much time for my friends or volunteering. It also means the professional and personal activities I enjoy are taking a back burner.
When I'm feeling down and overwhelmed I think of all Constance overcame and I get up and rally.
