To quote Bob Dylan, "The times they are a' changin"... well, not really. Rather, routines are changing. Money is tight, and according to the Mayans and Nostradamus, we have 3 more years to live [insert skeptical chuckle here]. For me, 2009 comes with ambitious possibilities and a few sobering realizations. I really would like to live within my means. But I suppose, like everyone else, I'm learning through trial and error. I'd also like to know why someone would hit my car in the parking lot of my apartment and not have the decency to at least write a note that says "sorry". It's not like I can tell who you are and where you live based on your hand writting.
If you're wondering what the point of this blog is about, I'll tell you; it's about nothing. I still don't know what to blog about, but I feel that my life is full of activity on multiple levels. I don't have the insight to elequently blog about a particular one. So, until then I'll just type. As for now, I wonder, what in 2009 will make me laugh, or weap, or reminice, piss me off? With 6 1/2 days down, I've managed to laugh at work (because some of the patients were obsessed with travelling through time to 1984), be inspired (or at least brought to awareness) at church, had the simple joy of eating a Clementine for the first time, and felt nostalgic while riding bikes with Danny Brewer and Tyler Lyle around Midtown.
I suppose, that though there is no epiphany to chrisen the new year. 2009 still brings joy, anxiety, peace, fun, exploration, and life that seems to illuminate God's presence. What more could one want? Even in writing this a few more 'wants' come to mind but I'm tired of typing so I'm gonna stop for now.
Kevin,
ReplyDeleteHow does one get back to 1984?
May the peace of Christ be with you regardless of what 2009 brings to your door.
Much love,
Marty
