During his first admin, I self-medicated with alcohol, ramped up as many ways to divert my attention and distract my mind as possible, and drove my physical body into a ditch.
This go-round? I’m quiet, focused, sober, and prepared.
The things that are 100% in my control are my *only* concerns.

I get asked questions that I used to have answers to, at the ready, 24/7, when he was last at the helm.

To me, this means I am a steady rock for anyone who needs the safe harbor of continuity.

This time I’m ready
Give yourself grace if you struggle, too.
Part of the steadiness I know I need is something I’m looking into now.

I know I am going to be wanting both virtual and in-person/in-real-time connections, and am happy for both!
