It seems that things at work are finally settling back down. I looked at my calendar this morning, and other than a very short meeting today, nothing else is on my schedule. Other than my usual Tuesday and Thursday class, I don’t have a class scheduled for another professor for the rest of the month. In fact, other than some regular weekly meetings, my calendar is pretty empty. Next week I have some doctor appointments, my schedule is open. It’s nice to take it easy in the morning and not be rushed to get ready and get to the office early to have enough time to get everything done.
I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's.
My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces.
