I got your email with the dates: the first week in November would be fine. Let me know when you book your arrangements. It’ll be cool to see you in person again.

I’ve had some more time to think about your letter and want you to know I appreciate your honesty.

Since you shared with me about your anxiety, I’ll tell you something about me I don’t normally admit to.

I mean, I am sure it’s obvious, but I never really talk with anyone about it.

It’s that I’m a workaholic. I love what I do—working for clinics that provide desperately needed medical care—for me, it’s been a perfect fit.

My time in the PHS was the best possible lead-up to it.

But I’m aware that I avoid life by working too much.

If there’s a tough case that needs house calls, I’m the one who volunteers.

If there is someone who wants time off, they know I’ll say yes to covering their clinic hours.

So, there’s something about me. Hope you have a happy Sukkot holiday however you celebrate it.

Take care—Josh
