So I have failed miserably in my attempt to be a consistent blogger. Perhaps “the holidays” were a bad time to attempt this elusive endeavor. Perhaps it’s just not that important to me. Either way, I do hope to post here more often in the new year.
The changing of calendars (as U2 reminds us every frickin’ year) is mostly a administrative marker. Does it actually mean something? Eh … depends on how you react to it, I guess. For me, the year still hinges on the school calendar. Autumn is the time where I really stop and say “woah, I started college/high school/kindergarten X years ago.”
That being said … there’s something about this morning. As I sit in my kitchen, sipping coffee in my favorite robe … light streaming through the windows … knocking out some stuff for work … listening to my iPod’s morning mix … staring at my shiny new iPhone … I feel slightly hopeful for 2008. I feel like I’ve been revving my engine for a few months now, and I’m just about ready to slip it into first gear.
So here’s to you and yours. Eat, drink, be merry. All that.
