Yesterday was a kind of funny day. I had an important meeting that I was quite stressed about, mainly because I wasn’t sure what was on the agenda. I don’t know about you, but I think there’s something unnerving about being asked to meet but not being sure what will be discussed.
I was told about the gathering several weeks ago, so there was more than enough time for the tension and anxiety to ratchet up. In these times, you just don’t know if you’re going to be told you’re getting a pink slip, or that you’ll be called upon to do even more with even less. I talked about all this the night before with a priest-friend of mine, who also serves as my spiritual director. He gave me some great advice.
