And again...
So another suitcase to pack...another morning of goodbyes. Time flew by on this "visit" back to NYC. But I got some deep sleep, loving kisses, tasty food, furry hellos, and a couple nice walks. So I can't complain one bit.
I am heading back to Miami for an undetermined amount of time. Could be a week...could be six. I have learned that it is better to go with the flow on this one. I expect to be very busy, but I will try to put some posts out there. But let's take day it by day...
I do want to say this: my job is a very difficult one. It in involves being on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week. It involves extremely difficult subject matter that I have only started to deal with on an emotional level. It is physically taxing and a wonderful and frustrating creative and intellectual challenge. It tests me. To do it, I have to dig really deep inside. And you know what? Sometimes, I don't have enough. I flounder. I get stressed. I fall down and I just don't want to get up anymore.
Through all of it, Corie has been there...with an open hand... to help me back up. Her support has been one of the key elements of me making this job happen. Her strength and determination is amazing and it inspires me daily. Thank you, sweetie -- I'll be home soon, I promise.
