Whew!! What a rich time!

It's been a while since I've had time to sit and think. The phrase has come up at least three times in conversation over the past two days-"his plate is really full". Well, yes it is but not so full as to be overwhelming, just a bit time-consuming.

The new job at Florida Keys Outreach Coalition is much more diverse than I originally thought it would be and I've been able to take on a lot more responsibility than anyone could have imagined. I deal with our 'clients' on a day to day basis- not so much as a counselor but as a mentor (and sometimes "tor"mentor). Many of the guys are just off the streets and just getting clean and sober. Some are fresh out of jail. Some are just down on their luck. Grown men do not like to admit that they need guidance.

Right now I have to run. Steering committee meeting. Blah, blah on and on. But that's the way life is and for the best and most part I couldn't be happier with it. Just busy. More later tonight.
