Sorting the Mail: A Lesson in Protecting Your Energy

You don’t have to open everything that lands at your door.

So much of my energy goes to my family, and I prefer it that way during this season of life. But as an introvert with chronic health challenges, I’m acutely aware that my energy, like a full mailbox, needs sorting. Some days are overflowing—letters from my children, work, friendships, home life—and I have to choose carefully which envelopes I open and which ones I quietly set aside for another day.
