I want to be a blogger. I want to see something remarkable and type about it in a witty and insightful way. And I want it to not feel like a lot of pressure. So, here's a baby step:
Five Things That Have Given Me Pause This Week
1. Last week, a colleague of mine had her brother get shot on afternoon in a park in the neighborhood where I work.
2. A friend got off the phone with her new boy and had a ridiculous grin on her face. As she walked up, I was looking at grad school programs with the same goofy grin. Could my next romance be with grad school?
3. Finishing up a 21 day cleanse (fruits, veggies, brown and wild rice, eggs, lentils, and fish) has put me in the rhythm of cooking and cleaning in a very natural way. My life revolves around healthy food preparation, eating, and thinking about what to prepare next. And I kinda like it.
4. How should family, travel, and finances interweave at this point in my life? And why do I feel like such an Adult about it?
5. "Perception is reality" - in the past four months, situations are poised to change and sometimes it takes so much work to mentally adapt and create alternate realities. But then they don't. And we are back to square one. But our mind is already stretched out around the other permutations of our lives that we had envisioned.
So, there you have it. Not quite witty or insightful. But a start.
