Leading Off – It has been a very long time since I’ve posted anything and for that, to my five readers, I express my apologies. Each day I have either been very busy or so tired I don’t want to do much at all. But let me backtrack to just after Thanksgiving and get you all caught up.
Community – I’ve been feeling isolated since I moved out of Villa Special and into my permanent residence back in August. I live without any sort of community to rely on. Now, that might confuse some of you. You’re thinking, “Did he stop going to Nav Night? What about church? And he’s around people all day at work. He’s even got a roommate he likes now. What’s the big deal?” Let me differentiate between “community” and “socialization.” I would consider myself to still be a social person. Some places I’m forced to be social, work being one of those places. I don’t have much choice but to relate with my coworkers if I want to stay employed. And I do still go to Nav Night on Thursdays and to Wesley on Sundays. I’m still around other human beings. I still talk to people. My existence is acknowledged in this small part of the world I call my home.
