It's true that sometimes we have to keep going. Unless, of course, we can't. Sometimes we need to say yes to things, but there are times that we need to say no.

If you need a reminder to pause for a moment to pay attention to it all, even in the chaos of a summer military move, and probably especially in the chaos of a pcs summer, listen in.
