I started this blog back in July 2007 with the best of intentions. The last time I posted was nearly 3 years ago, in February 2009. Since then, I have thought of resurrecting it as a place for my random thoughts, but never found enough motivation to actually do so. The specter of my previous posts haunting me was also a deterrent (update: I have now exported and deleted the previous posts, with the exception of the first entry).
Today is my 37th birthday. Instead of marking the New Year as a turning point, I tend to use my birthday as such a mark. Coming not-quite-two-weeks after the changing of the calendar, I usually have enough mental distance to come up with resolutions and goals for the year, without the pressure of the 1/01 date. One of my goals for my 37th year is to write more, and be more open about myself.
This most recent trip around the sun has been a difficult one for me, personally and professionally. I have high hopes for this next year.
I am a mother, a daughter, a friend and confidante, a knitter, a writer, a student. This year I want to become better at these identities.
