I have a friend I have been meditating with for about 6 years. he and I were the last facilitators of our local group that went down with larger group scandal. We meet sometimes at a new group, it is really good to see him. And it is important to have friends that are different than me (30 yo male in financial services) but similar (meditating since college).

I was talking to him about how I am struggling in my new role as a treasurer for the non-profit I am helping with and he gave me his old laptop! It is pretty basic, but better than trying to do this all on a chrome book. I can use all the word functions and save to a flash drive very quickly. I love a lot of google docs features, but not for everything. I can now take my time in replacing my laptop and still pay for retreats.
