I wrote this post at the beginning of 2012 -- one year after my wife died -- about looking ahead to the the year to come. Somehow it missed getting posted:
"Someone asked me whether I was looking forward to getting back to work in 2012. I said, 'On the one hand, I look forward to being back to some kind of form [after my wife's death]. On the other hand, no, it all seems too much.' The next question was whether -- if it all seemed too much -- I could delegate my duties. I said, 'It's not about delegation. I'm in charge of my time. It's the burden of responsibility -- which is there no matter how much one delegates: administration, finances, properties, counselling, charity, services, crises -- everything.' OBSERVATION: I say it every year, that it all seems too much. The answer to an undertaking which is too much is faith in God."
