I think it is important to be a part of your community. I’ve lived in my small town for nearly a decade and I am only now beginning to form lasting friendships. Tonight I went out with one of those families from the ‘hood and had a fabulous time. The reality is this sort of thing doesn’t naturally happen for a lot of Phoenix folk. Though we don’t have the density of New York, there are enough people here that it is impossible to go very long without seeing your neighbors. Failing to acknowledge that and them strikes me as a wasted opportunity.
Every conversation with someone new is an opportunity to find someone who can enhance your life. I truly believe that and live by that principle, which is why it is so odd that I hadn’t done this before.
But, I’m rambling…
Some Thoughts:
1. Finished principle work on every major deadline project in the queue. This means that I can relax enough to formalize a writing schedule that is more purposeful and less frantic. I loved the experience of writing so much in such a short time. Now I feel like I can do more with my writing. What a great growth opportunity!
2. Sounds like opportunity is the word of the day. Perhaps Geno Smith will get an opportunity for the Jets–especially if they cut Sanchez. Oh please cut him. PLEASE.
