Wake up wake up wake up!
Mar. 5th, 2009 08:55 pmTwo very different quotes on the topic of sustained progress:
There is a distance between the person you are, and the person you never thought you could be. And you will discover it, step by step.
(Saucony marketing material)
The universe is shaped exactly like the earth
If you go straight long enough you'll end up where you were
(Modest Mouse lyrics)
I'm feeling a bit static -- actually, feeling like I put myself in statis, and for valid reasons, but I'm trying to start moving again. Sure, I'm still busy doing all the same things as ever, but I'm trying to be excited again and feel possibilities again. With annual bonuses in, my spending fast is over; I've bought one pair of new shoes and three new yoga tops so far (and counting!), and the condo refinancing is helping to make things seem fresh and new, but it's not enough quite yet.
Well, this weekend brings Daylight Savings Time, new sneakers and a visit from my father-in-law. I'm hoping my semi-planned trip to NYC in a couple of weeks actually happens, and if that doesn't work I'll consider something bigger. Trips to Iceland are seeming like a good deal right now, and spring itself should be exciting, and of course every spring brings kittens into the world...
