I appreciate you sharing this with us. I don't want to make some careless comment just to confirm that your message is read, because there's nothing simple when it comes to a real life.

In some way I envy you your energy, I've never been this active myself, but I'm working on it.
I guess, whatever the act is, it's always some form of escaping, because when you're busy with one thing, you're covered from another one. But not many people manage to organize it in a practical way, I guess, you're one of those who've managed it properly.
