Hi Friends:

After I started my own firm 3 years ago, I finally had time to GAL. I thought it would happen instantly - but it didn't. And I became frustrated at that time. It ended up being a process. I tried all sorts of organizations and different types of groups for three years. And now I suddenly find myself in a situation where I have to pick and choose what I want to do from a number of options! \:\)

Even GAL seems to require balance! I had dropped my weekly yoga classes for awhile and went back for the first time in a month today. I had forgotten how much I need that to detach from life stress in general. I also wanted to be warmed up for my first day with weights - in years... I didn't end up going yesterday.

In my case, my M created a life infrastructure. And when it disappeared - I had to start all over again. And finally after 5 years - it feels like it is all coming together again. I am now trying things not b/c I have to - or need to - or should - but because I just want to.

Life has its normal ups and downs. That being said - I now have a life where I feel alive again.

take care,
AG
