I caught up with an old friend last night, actually, the engineer to whom I referred in “Do the means justify the end?” Strains of “I Will Remember You ” played in the back of my mind as we had the Reunion Talk of Old Friends, including a walk down the Pathway of Possible Regret. We both determined that we don’t have big ones, though we do have small ones, small one that came as a result of opportunities not seized.
Like every good aware and intentional person, I try not to let that happen, as I’m sure many of you do as well, for we have learned the value and fun of it all, the way it enriches one’s life. It seemed very fitting in the context of a conversation that I had earlier this past week.
I learned about an opportunity to submit a proposal to write a chapter about financial stability in social work textbook. As it happens, my official title is Financial Stability Counselor, and the women who told me about this opportunity was most excited to learn about the kinds of things I do with my clients and how they respond. When she sent me the outline for the proposal, I noticed something interesting.
While I became excited about the prospect, when I initially considered writing something, I thought of it in a co-author context, as though I couldn’t do something like this by myself. And perhaps I can’t, dear reader, however, this is an opportunity I’m seizing.
Also – consider this fair warning, for I’ll be working out the kinks and asking for feedback from all of you.
