Here's a switch.
Apr. 18th, 2014 12:52 amI don't post much here, I know. Though in a talk with my friend Amy B this afternoon, we both agreed the Days of Live Journal and email lists should probably return, Facebook being bad for conversations and philosophizing. Anyway. I'm still here, I still have things to say, and amazingly, for once, I'm happy. I mean serious, long-term, pleasant, optimistic happy. Not everything is daisies and puppies, as Buffy said, but I'm really doing okay, and sort of astonished about it. I just feel like I'm on a good track, and in a good place. How odd.
Of course, there's still so much to do to wrangle MayFaire Moon to a decent growth rate. So much to do to get my Korean up to a decent enough level to survive ten days in Seoul next year. (If one more person tells me, "Man, they all speak English over there," I'll weep. I know. That's not the point.) Miles to go before my apartment is in decent shape. Before my body is in decent shape. I don't want perfection. I'd just like some more contentment. But I'm sanguine about it all, for the most part. There are a hundred thousand things that could go wrong, but hey, at least I can say I'm not stagnant, and I'm not giving up on anything. I'm trying a lot of new things, lately, and it's kinda cool. I'm not the person I was a year ago, and I'm sure as hell not the person I was three years ago, or two years ago, when I was possibly at my lowest ever. I think I did say back then that the only way out was through, and hey, here I am.
Pretty cool.
