new love...

You know how there are dreams you had as a kid that never got fulfilled? And if you were lucky, you did your damnedest to make sure that they were filled for your kid. Still, it wasn't the same. I have fulfilled one of my lifelong dreams. And it is sweeter than I ever imagined.

fog...

It has been such a busy week--I have felt like I was in a fog. I LOVE my new job...everyone is so friendly and helpful. The patients are nice and amazingly intelligent. The parents are accepting. I actually have time to sit down and talk with them and to enjoy getting to know them. I feel so good about where I am and what I am doing...it feels very right.

welcome 2009

I am so excited about the new year...a blank journal waiting to be filled. For once I don't really want to think about what it may hold--sure, I know a few givens, have a few plans, but for the most part this is one of the most unplanned years I have had in decades. And I am excited about it.
The fortune tellers in Cusco were busy and to tell the truth, if I had spoken Spanish I would have had to have had a reading...they were so serious, so mysterious. But I am glad I didn't. I kind of like this innocence, and I want to enjoy it while it lasts.
