I had to smile at this Joy as it’s very similar to what I’ve been experiencing apart from the lost chapters. Here’s hoping they turn up. It feels like this is something that we’ll get used to. Those of us at the forefront are being ‘trained’ so we can teach, I’m sure you know this. Let’s see where the ride takes us!

I remembered that I had emailed one of my students/clients a copy of the five chapters and was able to go into my emails and retrieve the lost chapters. I started re-reading them and I realize I am not ready to pick this up again yet. At least I was able to get them back. Thanks for affirming that a lot of us are going through these weird shifts.

Hi Joy. Ken and I have been going through major shifts since the end of March. Ken was hospitalized twice -- which led to his job becoming part-time and 1099 contract rather than a W-2 employee. I applied for -- and obtained-- a longtime dream job (remote proposal editor for a humanitarian organization) --which I never thought I'd have to wait for until I was 71! There are big changes going on with several of our children, etc. etc. And we wouldn't be surprised if there are more big changes up ahead into June. (I, too, have tried to plan our flights to a reunion with my kids in August; but keep sensing that I need to wait.)

Oh wow! Lots of changes. I am sending Ken healing vibes but happy to hear about your new job!! It is also great to hear I am not the only one hesitant to book any major trips. Be well and thanks for sharing!!

He's doing very well now, Joy. But the serious illness was a true wakeup call (that he needed to go part-time). And he/we heeded it. Blessings to you ...
