For the past decade my week has been filled with early mornings, lots of interesting meetings, many challenging matters and lots of travel. And now it has come to a screeching halt.

The impact of this is just coming to land on me – on my pysche – on my soul. I knew a sudden stop was coming, but the impact of that is just dawning on me.

I have lots of things I want to do. I have a list of things – and it’s prioritized. It isn’t the change as so much of the context. The people, the systems, the objectives… gone. In a moment. Over. Done.

OUCH.

So now to settle in to what will be our new reality.

First of all I have a conviction about caring for our neighbours. I really want to develop relationships there. And I want to develop new relationships.

But all that will take time.

Now to the to-do list. Off the top – get the oil changed after our long drive!
