New Year 2007
My friends Leslie and Logan stayed with me through the New Year, and my favorite part of New Year's Eve was taking a long walk with them as the sun went down on the last day of 2006. Although I was feeling a bit reserved and reflective, I made it out to meet up with friends for drinks and a party at a house on a lake. Although I didn't know more than 5 people there to start, I had quite a nice time watching some of the guys playing with fireworks and actually met a girl in my field to talk to about planning issues, green building and all of those topics that get me really excited. As we brought in the New Year, I was happy to be in the company of many good friends and sad that my cell phone wouldn't let me make outgoing calls at midnight to my good friends that were not there to share the moment in person.
It was a slow start to the day today, but I did manage to make it out of the house to the bookstore for a brief spell. I picked up a simple black journal, a really cool 2007 magnetic game calendar, and a puzzle book. Tools to begin the New Year.
I'm still not quite ready to move beyond my reflective mode, and am looking forward to seeing what this gestation period yields. In the meantime, I'm still scatter-brained and find it hard to express what I am feeling. At the same time, I don't feel impatient about that fact. This is unique for me.
As for the here and now, I think it's time to get back to cleaning up my place. More to come when the fog lifts and I am better able to express myself. Happy New Year to you all!
