2009_365365 - Staring at a blank canvas
365 2009 Day 365: So 2009 is at an end, and I feel that in many respects 2009 should be consigned to Room 101. However, it often takes difficult times to urge us to re-evaluate where we are, and there have been many moments throughout this year that have caused me to do just that.
And I approach 2010 (some would say a new decade) with an intent to start drawing life afresh on a blank canvas, based on ideas and goals that have surfaced this year.
Here I am contemplating it ...
I am not one for setting goals very precisely. I much prefer to head in a general direction towards the horizon over there, and then to make periodic assessments of where I am. That's because I like to encounter surprises along the way, and to be open to be influenced by them.
At this point in time I feel I should change course, maybe quite dramatically. Who knows where it will lead. But a journey of a thousand miles starts with one step.
Anyway, among the very best things in 2009 has been making a genuine reacquaintance with the mountains, and meeting many wonderful new friends. And I'd like to end this 365 round with a huge thanks to all of you for your support and friendship. It really does mean a lot.
Happy New Year
