The SAN Script – the week of January 5 – 9
Happy New Year!
I hope all of you have had a good rest over the past two weeks. This is a great time of the year to reflect on how good it is not to be racing around all of the time! I hope you have had time for some reading, exercise and visiting with friends and family. The big thing to remember as we return is that to sustain yourselves over the next few months, it is really important to keep reading (not Ministry documents!), keep exercising and keep connected to your friends and family.
This is what truly sustains us.
Please also remember all those students and staff members who may not have had the ‘best’ Christmas. Those who are dealing with difficult and sometimes tragic family circumstances, those who are struggling with the health of a loved one, those who find Christmas a time of greater need.
Let’s take this first week easy – lots of time for the rush!
