what to do with peace
January 10, 2012
something is amiss with me today, and i think it’s (gulp…) a sense of peace. that’s right. peace! in me!
and so what does one do with a thing like peace? there is certainly no angst to be had over peace. there are no fitful nights’ sleep, no worry dreams. there is no fidgeting, pacing, internal conversating with all the people in your head WHO ARE NOT REAL. peace is just peace. it just sits there and, well, feels like everything will be okay. which is so not a natural feeling for me. i have no idea what to do with it, which means i’m totally holding off on some hardcore worrying about feeling peaceful.
instead, i guess i’ll just sit and hold onto this moment after the big sigh for as long as i possibly can.
omg (oh my geese)

sigh.
about to slow
January 8, 2012
my clyde turned 9 on friday and made me feel really old and completely in awe of our lives — and of his life in the way it belongs only to him. our kids’ passing years mark the passage of time in an entirely different way than our own. it doubles up the fear and worry and also the hopes and dreams.
after a couple bazillion mini celebrations with friends and family, i do look forward to the january slowdown and for all that the new year holds for us all.
waiting for the big sigh. here it comes …
happy new year!

excited to start the new year — although the older i get, the less it feels like i need a fresh start each new year. i think that’s a good thing, and i’m trying really hard not to feel like it’s an old thing. signed up for a photography class (i’m long overdue on learning what aperture is…) and feeling a year’s worth of rad about that.
