Blast from the Past

This afternoon I went to hear an author speak and read from a book she recently had published. I was especially pleased to go because she was a psychiatrist, about my age, and had done all her education and work in SC. Like me! Even though we had not met before, listening to her was like hearing an old friend talking about something we both knew intimately. Interesting how we arrived at so many of the same conclusions. She no longer practices, and I will reluctantly give up my license this year, but we agreed we would never regret all those years we spent in the company of people who were deeply troubled. She said, "It has to be a calling." I agreed, saying that is what it was for me.
