My mate and I recently took a 4 week vacation. While I was trepidatious to be away from my practice (and our sweet pup) that long, we were both looking forward to escaping the constant news of the party shenanigans.  

Well, not so easy.  America is, unfortunately, the talk of the world, and not in a good way. We were greeted kindly in all 3 countries we visited, but many people we met had questions and suggestions for us. We tried very much to disconnect...not so easy when your home country is on the attack of nearly every other country in the world.  

Regardless, it was interesting to hear the opinions of those outside our borders. We could learn A LOT!.

But, life goes on around us, and we must all find our own coping mechanisms.

Go forth and prosper!
