I learned early on that i never wanted a career but merely a job that paid my bills. I’m always doubting myself, even now in retirement, wondering if I’m spending my one life well or wasting it.

Thank you for this post!

Thank you for writing and sharing your latest essay “Adrift”. Your words touch my heart–they get through to me. I want you to know that I admire your vulnerability and courage. I fully realize that you are just another flawed human being like all of us. However, you haven’t given up; you are still out their trying to do your best and figure “it” out. I am sorry that you injured your right shoulder. Interesting enough, my left shoulder has been causing me a lot of pain recently. Maybe by stopping by to say hi, we can help each others shoulders to heal.

Anyway, I just wanted to say that I notice you and that I am grateful for your books and these essays. I wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Just another human being out there trying to hang in there and do my best too . . .

Warmly,

Keith
