On The Prowl

By Abe Newmeyer, January 14, 2020

Gratitude & PerspectiveTime & Focus

About this time last year I had the opportunity to teach English as a second language. A month long contract teaching Korean students on winter break, teaching was a delightful experience. Today, I’ll head to the office and see if there’s an opportunity to do so once more.

Today, Tuesday, January 14, 2020, I am grateful that:

My sleeping schedule is back to normal. For nearly the entire month of December I was going to sleep late at night and awakening in the early afternoon. My routine was interrupted and my writing probably suffered in quality(speculation). It’s nice to get back to a regular schedule.

I met and “broke bread” with David. He departs for Thailand tomorrow but as always, it great to speak American English. He’s an economist in Seattle and we had a chance to check out the setup at Fuentes Circle. More and more preparations are occurring as Sinulog begins.

Dale, Helen, and I had lunch yesterday. It was great to recount my trip to Bacolod and learn a bit more about the city from a local. Again, Dale and American English is also a great thing. Additionally, he was able to provide some advice regarding a couple of situations of the heart and wallet.

Who’s your sounding board? Your trusted counselor?

Do you have only one counselor? Maybe one for certain aspects of your life? Who are they?

How do you thank them?

Be Great. Be Grateful!!!
