The Best Kind of Busy

Today is going to be a long and busy day, but thankfully, I’ll be doing the parts of my job that I love most. I’ll be playing host to a special guest, which includes taking him out for a nice dinner tonight. I’ll also be spending part of the day teaching and giving a tour.

It’s going to be one of those days when I’ll be going from one thing to the next with hardly a moment to catch my breath, but I’m actually looking forward to it. As much as I complain about being busy, I really do love what I do, especially when I get to interact with people, share history, and show a little Southern hospitality.

By the time I get home tonight, I expect I’ll be exhausted, but hopefully, it will be the good kind of exhaustion that comes from a long, productive, and enjoyable day. Sometimes, being busy isn’t such a bad thing, especially when you’re doing something you love.

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. View all posts by Joe
