Um... I'm sorry.
This relationship just isn't working for me.
I'm at www.dailypreciousness.org now. So change that bookmark.
Today was like sipping a wine of black currants and cinnamon. Was it the view of DC from the lush, high hills of Marymount? Was it the stunned silence at the Sundiata: Lion King of Mali story? Was it the satisfaction of working on my library of congress slave narrative music piece? (It's slowly coming together!) Or could it have been the sound of Henry's voice on the phone?
Of course, it was all of these things.
I am in a good place right now. It's not difficult to see that. My world is expanding at a reasonable rate. I need to make some choices, though, in the next few days that will decide the tone, pitch and cadence of the rest of 2004.
Decision one: Will I run the 2004 Marine Corps Marathon? If so, I will have to raise $2000 and devote every Saturday to running.
Decision two: Will I shoot high and start off with nine hours of grad school at Marymount? (I think I can handle it during the summer, except that May will be difficult with work and night classes three nights a week.)
Decision three: Do I attempt to start a work-related blog at the library? If so, I need to start working on it soon, since the year's almost up.
The stronger part of my nature is, sadly, the most inert part. My mental momentum is my mortal enemy. It is a real challenge for me to make decisions like these, especially since my main sounding board is so far away. (I miss you, Henry!) I will have to sleep, run, cook, karaoke and think on all of these items. And then a decision for each one will appear. Everything will be immediately obvious. As clear as white cranberry juice.
And twice as sweet.
