Running Behind, Again
Mood:  rushed
Topic: 2008

So, as per my usual, it appears I forgot to tie up the loose ends of this project that was intended to conclude at the end of August, or at least by the first of fall.  The truth is, I didn't actually forget, I just didn't get around to it.  Once I'd realized that I had "brought myself home" but was refusing to acknowledge her, the project lost its power.  I had arrived at the understanding I needed, and so didn't really come back here to celebrate or explain or even say thank you for indulging me in another of my silly quests....

And, now, I'm in the middle of packing up our house so we can rent it while we rent an apartment in Raleigh much closer to Hans's job.  We're going from a 3-bedroom house to a 1 bedroom apartment with practically no storage space, so I'm having to get rid of a lot of things and that causes an emotional strain on me to go along with the physical strain of trying to work a full-time job and be in two living spaces at once.  So, there's not really any time for a post now, either, but I was feeling the need to check in.  I may have some time this afternoon, and, if so, I'll try to come back and put a bow on the summer project so I can bless it and move on.

So, to anyone who was following along and feels let down that I disappeared for so long, thank you for your patience and I apologize for the vanishing act.  (If you've been following me for very long, though, you've probably come to expect long silences....)

Be well and hold to your own course in these crazy financial and political times.  Reexamine your plan to make sure it is still basically sound, but then listen to your own advice and know that you are resilient enough to weather this storm.  There is so much opportunity (for redefining, revisioning, repositioning, and testing new, wild plans) in uncertainty--seize it if you can.

Namaste,

K
