My China Connection

Back in September met Anthony while he was here on vacation. We hung out a bit then and when he arrived in town last week, we did the same once more. Last night was interesting since he chose a karaoke bar for entertainment options. After nearly living here for one year that was a first.

A different kind of experience but after a while, it’s all the same. Food, drinks, and cute women, kind of challenging to not be content with that combination. He enjoyed himself, I did as well, and that’s ultimately what the night was about.

Today, Friday, December 13, 2019, I am grateful that:

I’ve been able to recognize certain opportunities to be more flexible. The last three weeks have included multiple nights beyond my typical self imposed curfew and conviviality with newly met comrades. I’m happy to fellowship with certain people but also be able to remain steadfast on my mission.

Hanging with the trio from London and Anthony has offered an injection of confidence and vitality. Like a B-12 shot or double shot of expresso the effect is jolting, exhilarating, and slightly surprising. I’m happy to have had the experience.

Even with the deviation of my routine for the last few weeks, I’ve made several connections with graphic artists, hired a site designer, and completed another title. Variance in my routine has not significantly hindered my productivity, although when I think about my accomplishments over the last months, my thoughts usually tell me I haven’t gotten much accomplished.

Be Impactful!
