Snow means down time

So here it is an other snow storm in NYC.  Luckily I have cases to handle by phone so today feels productive.  Yesterday my trusty Subaru got me to NJ and back.  I was the only person in the building and one new case found her way to my office.

Tomorrow I am planning on going to the farm to visit my horse who is probably as bored as I.  Still trying to find a focus for my life.  Travel is a suggestion from a friend, take classes from another, and I have thought of book clubs, yoga the usual.  Truth is I miss the struggle that marked my early and mid life.  the journey to this place was so challenging it filled me with joy.

Not that I would have described it as joyful at the time.  Working a full time job, going to class, field placements, death and loss of people along the way, not joyful indeed, but fullfilling for sure.

I need something like that now.  But what?

Looking back

On a wintry day in the Bronx time is hanging on me.  I have spent my whole life here but lived it all over the world and the journey is not over.  The challenge now is to find a new purpose.  Maybe looking back is the path to the future.  So here goes. 
 
In my late 60's my challenge is to find new goals, something to fill the time the way that my education, my travels, my search for a profession and the building of a private practice has.  Writing has been hard for me, but seems my best method of chronicling this journey.  This blog will be my soul searching, my internal/external process in the hope it will open a path.
