November 12--The Direction of Your Devotion

The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.  --Mitch Albom

    These are wise words Mr. Albom offered. I am at the stage in life where I ask myself, "Am I being a useful human being?" Answers vary. I wonder if I'm having too much fun. I tell myself that I can "rest on my laurels"--I raised two useful humans, so I did my job. Being an introvert, I appreciate solitary activities like painting and gardening to balance my hours playing pickleball and doing simulated patient gigs. I gather from what I am writing that meaning in life is in direct proportion to a person's comfort in his/her own skin. With that comfort, the devotion described above comes quite naturally. 

    Workin' on it,
