Before me now
4:06pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA, Friday afternoon, August 26, 2022. The last fourteen years have been spent prioritizing emotionally what once was, rather than looking forward to what can be. I don’t blame myself; the heart wants what it wants. But I am tired of lamenting loss and scheming to regain the past. I want to focus on the present and experience the gifts which lie before me now.

Maybe it wasn’t the best choice
5:52pm, pacific standard time, apartment in Chandler, Arizona, USA . Wednesday evening, August 17, 2022. Got out of work at 1pm this afternoon, which I wasn’t planning for. Also, it is Wednesday, not Thursday. My daughter and her mom aren’t expecting me until tomorrow night. I didn’t want to disrupt their routine, nor did I want to pay for a hotel, so I drove to Arizona. It was a long drive and there was a dust storm on the way. In hindsight, maybe it wasn’t the best choice.
