It's easy to become depleted and listening to ourselves and to God is a key to recovery. God bless you in your chosen word this year.

I am in that same spot you were at last year, so as I face 2020 I hope to Listen, as you suggested.

You're doing well in listening to yourself as well as, from my experience with you, allowing others to know of "that quiet, often dark space." When I served as a chaplain in healthcare "listening" to oneself and others I came alongside, was essential. Keep writing, my friend, and keep listening to God as you care for yourself and others.
