Hey all,
Many of you will have no idea who I am, but I was once an active member of the group, though I never took Jukai.
I quit nursing in early July and for the last week or so, I've been rebuilding my daily practice. It's only five to ten minutes, usually at the end of the day, but it's a start.
I'm working as an author and editor now, though I don't make the kind of money I did as a nurse. There's far less weight on my shoulders, and more importantly, I don't have stressful twelve-hour night shifts that frequently disrupted my attempts to restart my daily practice in the past.
I haven't sat yet today, but I'm just about to. I simply wanted to log in and let people know what's going on. Stephanie and I were together for six years, but we split up in May of 2019. There's a lot more I could say, but for now, I have to sit zazen before I take some sleeping aid and go to bed for the night.
Gassho.
Chet
