Another Year!

I'm now 34.

Interesting connections:
3 - Zoƫ
4 - Rose

Coincidence? I think not!

And, 3+4=7, which is a lucky number.

In any case, another year whizzed by, and I have to say, life is good. Work keeps me busy and engaged, alternately satisfied and not, but almost always interesting and with challenges there for the taking.

Summer vacation from grad school is also fantastically satisfying! I'm reading three books at the moment (Jules Vernes' "The Mysterious Island," Max Brooks' "World War Z," and Sonia Sotomayor's "My Beloved World."So much fun! My CSA delivers yummy veggies each week, living with Cody and Joe is fun, the Foreign Service process is going well, and basically all is well in the world!

There are some harder things, of course: aging grandparents; impending move in October (to a new apartment, or finding a new roommate); frustration with getting into shape and losing weight; the itch to travel, travel travel ever present.

All in all though, life is pretty darned good. The past year has been a real kick with finding a new educational interest and possible career direction, and wrestling with life decisions and self-perceptions and ideas of the future. Looking forward to a year of amazingness, now!
