Thanks, Wonka. I am on LinkedIn and looking. I might finally be at the point where I am ready to do something that requires mental acuity and creativity again. I've felt so dead and empty this summer - I'm a former school principal and pretty successful writer/editor who would be content to drive a truck or dig ditches.
But no... not forever. I need meaning and purpose in my job and in my life. I've found myself mostly praying for that now.
What do you do, by the way? Would love to connect on LinkedIn!
Oh, as for my friend? Yes... I wish she'd been able to say something. I know it would help, but maybe she needs still another month or two for anything anyone might say to be effective. My mom - her godmother, who seems as pained by all this as she would be if it were her own child behaving this way - wants to have a sit-down, post-baptism conversation. I said that's a great idea, but not now. She needs to move through the affair fog and get beyond all the real estate "busy-ness" before she has any kind of space to hear anything real.
It's a long ride, right?
I've fastened my seatbelt.
