WEEK 73

76% done with my hospital volunteer work. Earned more than last week, but still not enough. At least the weather was nice.

This year will be my most successful one financially, if not in other areas. When I look at my life now, I think “gee, that wasn’t so bad, why didn’t you enjoy it more?” For example, I didn’t have as much money or own my own home, but I was younger and thinner and my hair looked better.

Or I wasn’t earning much money, but I was full-time reporter and on-air anchor. Or I wasn’t well-treated, but I was earning good money benefits. And I had two parents and a grandmother.
