This Monday, my son graduated from high school. I am so proud of him. I learned that he has a huge support system, family and friends. This was apparent at his party and the commencement. I can't tell you how wonderful, and how awesome and how frightening it is to be the parent of a newly graduated child. There is a lot in the future. I know he'll be just fine....
I got a phone call today from my co-worker. It was an apology for not being able to share personal information that caused a slight inconvenience for me. Truly, I don't understand why not having a ton of money is anything to apologize for or hide. We are all in this boat. Financial hardship is something we can all come together about and be strengthened by. It is a matter of trust, or at least that was what was shared with me during the call.
I drove up to Whittier today to have lunch with someone I really respect. I am honored to be included in this man's busy schedule and whenever we talk I feel energized and hopeful.
The drive is always a good thing too. I just get out of town for a while. I am hoping that I can spend the rest of this week, my week's vacation, emptying out all of my built up worries and exhale.
