COMPLICATED

I think perhaps we make life more complicated than it is. And love. And work.

Maybe just a little less pre-thinking, and a little more simple response can help.

PASSING STRANGE

Not only is PASSING STRANGE my favorite musical ever, it's now also the first movie with my name in the credits. Sweet.

"And should the mask begin to fall, my chorus comes in like a 12 foot wall so you can't see me."

Pure poetry.

SOME THOUGHTS

When dealing with family it is almost always better to nod and smile.

Days go by quicker when you buckle down and do the work.

A new year is like the grown up version of back-to-school. We should get a new outfit too.

Sometimes the sun shining on windows in NYC looks just like fire.

It's not enough to love. You have to share that love.

A child is pure beauty, even when dripping with drool.

2010

2009 was...well, a year. There were amazing parts, and terribly challenging parts, and a lot of just plain boring parts. But, and I feel this every January, I'm ready for what's next.

In 2010 I want to continue my work on friendship-strengthening. More brunches, fewer months without seeing anyone but Geoff and my co-workers.

In 2010 I want to refocus my attention on my personal spiritual growth. I definitely let that slip off the plate in 2009 - not nearly enough meditation or self education. I want to get back in touch with the heart of me, so that I can continue my growth into a more complete human.

In 2010 I want to continue to grow in my career. I've realized that company management is something I very much enjoy, and I want to keep on the path to becoming a full manager. I am open and willing and very excited about this journey.

In 2010 I want to get a clearer picture of the plan for my life. Will we go the family route? If so, when? Will we remain city folk, or get a house in a different community? No decisions are ever definite, but we need to more clearly know our wants in order to make them reality.

In 2010 I want to live and laugh and love as fully as possible.
