Our team has been wrapping up a very busy quarter these past few weeks, and we are all looking forward to a nice break.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>Being online and connected is a way of life for many of us now.<\/span>
<\/span>As wonderful as that can be, going off the grid once in a while to regroup, reprioritise, and recharge our batteries is vital.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>For those who are taking time off, I hope your holidays are jubilant and restful.<\/span>
<\/span>For those who are working through, I wish you productivity and great reward.<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>I will leave you with a Christmas poem by one of my favourite poets of all time. May you all be someone's little tree\ud83c\udf84<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

<\/span>[little tree]<\/span>
<\/span>By E. E. Cummings<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>little tree<\/span>
<\/span>little silent Christmas tree<\/span>
<\/span>you are so little<\/span>
<\/span>you are more like a flower<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>who found you in the green forest<\/span>
<\/span>and were you very sorry to come away?<\/span>
<\/span>see         i will comfort you<\/span>
<\/span>because you smell so sweetly<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>i will kiss your cool bark<\/span>
<\/span>and hug you safe and tight<\/span>
<\/span>just as your mother would,<\/span>
<\/span>only don't be afraid<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>look         the spangles<\/span>
<\/span>that sleep all the year in a dark box<\/span>
<\/span>dreaming of being taken out and allowed to shine,<\/span>
<\/span>the balls the chains red and gold the fluffy threads,<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>put up your little arms<\/span>
<\/span>and i'll give them all to you to hold<\/span>
<\/span>every finger shall have its ring<\/span>
<\/span>and there won't be a single place dark or unhappy<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>then when you're quite dressed<\/span>
<\/span>you'll stand in the window for everyone to see<\/span>
<\/span>and how they'll stare!<\/span>
<\/span>oh but you'll be very proud<\/span>
<\/span>
<\/span>and my little sister and i will take hands<\/span>
<\/span>and looking up at our beautiful tree<\/span>
<\/span>we'll dance and sing<\/span>
