It's been quiet here since June. Guess I've been busy and a little blue (which I probably haven't wanted to admit).
Let's see...
I got a yoga teacher certification, trained for and competed in my first triathlon, trained for and ran my third half marathon, helped a friend through a crisis (I hope), am almost done with my final semester in graduate school after taking two classes this semester, taught three preps at school, and tried like hell to figure out what I'm doing right and wrong with my life.
I read a fair amount (although I've been doing a lot of compulsive re-reading), study, and work. I did some great cooking this summer, with my new basil and mint plants, but I've not done much cooking since school started in August.
I've been to visit my mom and my grandmother, although both too briefly. I haven't had time or money to do much other travel
I've wondered what the right next career move would be for me and how to make my personal life make me happy and not make others too miserable. I've been sad to miss the Lotus world with all its current excitement and rejuvenation.
I've started lots of great posts about articles I've read, movies I've seen, books I've read, thoughts I've had, but I stop before I finish and publish. Perhaps as I come to the end of what has been an incredibly challenging semester I'll find ways to figure out how to get what I want and need, and that clarity will bring more comfort with and inspiration for writing. Still, thanks for the handful of folks who've asked why the blog has been dark and checked to make sure I was still doing okay. Thanks also to the friends I don't see regularly, who drop an email or a hi! on Facebook - it means a lot. For my local friends, who I actually get to see more regularly, well, I wish it were more regularly, and thanks for all the support, fun, and friendship.
Look for more from me, soon, I hope. Have a happy, healthy Thanksgiving holiday this week, if you're in the US.
