      Like, seriously. This is my job and I get to do it each day and I still, to this day, can't quite believe it.

      It's hard not to get cynical or just blasé about existing in "the nation's capital" at times, but I love when I can take the time to step...

      ... back and realize what it is that I get to do. I mean, I spent Tuesday morning watching the justices at work in two v interesting cases.

      Then, I got to write about it. And thousands of people read each of those stories. That's just so great. ... And, I get paid for it!

      Six years ago, at this time, I was unemployed, out of money, drinking way too much, and had absolutely no direction in my life.

      Today is a miracle. I know, factually, what happened that got me from there to here, but I still don't understand exactly ~how~ it happened.

      And, what I've learned in that time is that it's not all that important that I know. It's also not important to me to have any grand plans.

      I know that I am grateful for what I have, and I know that I will keep focused on doing the next right thing that is in front of me.

      That's what brought me to this place where I'm doing more than I ever imagined I would be doing with my life, so I'm going to keep it up.

      Note I said "focused on" doing those right things. I make mistakes constantly. It's life. I'm human. But, the focus is what's important.

      At least, for me. And, as I've said before, for me, stopping drinking and getting sober were also key.

          And so, here I am, six years from having no real focus or direction, to today having a life that is so full of purpose that I could burst.

          I am grateful. For all of it. The good, the bad, the insecurities, the victories, the changes, the letdowns, the optimism, the friendship.

          And, of course, I'm so grateful for Twitter — the place where I lived through all of this. 😊 I'd journal so much more otherwise. 😂

          Anyway, my point: Don't give up. No matter where things are at right now, you never know what's around the corner. Do the next right thing.

          @chrisgeidner It's a wonderful thing. I spent lunch with a BFF who I never thought would get sober. Happy to have my friend.
