This new year and I are not in sync. Despite the resumption of school for Lola & Astrid and the return to routine that comes with it, I'm feeling at loose ends. I've been wandering through my days with little purpose other than to do the things that absolutely must be done and to take at least one picture. That's it. Slightly unfulfilling, to say the least. Also boring and somewhat crazy making.
Excuse me while I find my bearings. I know they're around her somewhere.
Five days into the new year and I'm forcing myself to break free of the inertia of neglecting my small corner of the internets. Life has rolled by. Topographically speaking, there were some peaks, a number of valleys, and a few broad expanses of even terrain. You know. Life. I'm not certain if I'll take the time to recount any of it or if I'll just leave it all in the past and focus on the present and the year (minus 5 days) ahead. A clean slate does have it's appeal.
My slate isn't completely blank though. I've committed myself to a few things in 2008, if only in my head (the mental chalkboard). The list is short. My hope is that brevity = focus and focus = success. Seems plausible, doesn't it?
::A clean desk::
::A picture a day::
::Stretching::
Simple, right? Nothing complicated. Wish me luck. The power of positive thinking and all that.
