Old Life

I return to my old life of a scattering of responsibilities and interests. 

I went to the accounts meeting. We met w/ a possible business development person. He was a referral from one of our long-time mentors in the community. He does financial and future planning analysis for businesses. It'd be like $15K I imagine and not sure how that'd work w/ the people already helping us from California. 

Met with a friend at a coffee shop. 

Kind of usual stuff, much of it not soul-warming or inspiring, but what needs to be done still right now. 

I wish I was still hiking. 

I wish I was away. 

I want to be responsible, but I want change. 

I am trying to heal. 

I'm trying to grow. 

Work, Then Play
