Illusion

If you hold on to the handle, she said, it's easier to maintain the illusion of control. But it's more fun if you just let the wind carry you.

everynewbeginningcomesfromsomeotherbeginningsend


Yes I know, life really only has one beginning and one end, and everything else is the good stuff that fills the sandwich between (like turkey and havarti with whole grain mustard, mmm shout out to The Cheese Shop!).

But, that doesn't keep me from thinking in terms of all kinds of ends and beginnings right now... which begets another list...

Ending

Beginning

· Last real summer vacation

· Being on a 9-5 schedule for once!


· Era as a school counselor


· Path to becoming Dean of Academic Affairs (don't laugh, it's possible!)


· America's rough fiscal year '09-'10


· Recession of the recession??? (*fingers crossed*)


· 4 years with most of the fam in one place


· More excuses to travel and call


· Spending free time in TV & FB land


· Student experience #3 with a side of determination to do more required reading than in either #1 or #2.


· 3 years in this apartment


· A sluggish I'm-relaxing-damnit attitude




·More sq. feet for Wren and all my shoes??? (*toes crossed too*)

·An energized I-promise-I'll-get-off-my-butt-and-sweat-at-least-once-a-day attitude

Hmmm I feel like there's so much more beginning and ending right now... but I guess I'll just come back to it when it comes to me. You know, like when I'm standing in line at Target and I think "Ooooh, why didn't I think of that!?"

  1. I love this post, for obvious reasons (I feel like I need to make my own list to pinpoint my anxiety lately). Thanks for sharing!
