I'm having one of those 'taking stock' moments. I just moved to a new apartment, I'm working on interesting (read as: sometimes terrifying) things, and I'm wondering what's waiting around the corner for me. 

It has been a while since I've been in a position to think about things this way. I'm trying to draw straight lines between what I've done (on purpose or by accident), the things that have happened to me, and whatever's coming. It's a hell of a thing not being able to tell the future; I'm not quite sure how people do it every day. 

What is for sure is that I see room for improvement. That there is room for improvement isn't at all surprising, but that I can *see* it is encouraging. I need to take better care of myself, and I think in the process I can take better care of my fellows. 

I want to see my family more, and have a closer relationship with the communities I am a part of. 

I want to let go of things that don't matter: I need to carry less, without caring less. I think that means that I need to give the people that I've judged amnesty, and I'm excited to meet them again for the first time. 

I want to create more. There's so very much opportunity for me to build, provide, grow, and contribute to my environment and the people around me. 

This one may not wrap up so cleanly, (like I said: can't tell the future) but it's going somewhere, and I'm looking forward to finding out just where that might be.
