A New Beginning, Blogger Style
Well, I had this whole great blog entry, but it got erased and I don't know how to retrieve it! DANG!
Well, this IS certainly a new beginning. Geez, talk about the metephor for starting OVER. Thanks ALOT BLOGGER! It was a good post filled with QUOTES! and WISDOM! and more tales about FALLING ON MY FACE. But alas, it wasn't meant to be.
I will tell you this: Life is pretty good these days. I am loving New York and I am feeling like the last few days have been filled with ideas, new people, and a feeling of a new beginning. On Monday I start a day job that will last for 3 weeks. It has had a curious effect of inspiring the heck out of me. Money, security and a schedule has done wonders for my sense of creativity and time. I suddenly feel like a real citizen of New York! I will commute! I will get up before 8:00 am! I will be meeting new people WITHOUT Graham's help!
And then there is the tour. The aftermath feels like this: I approached a fear, went through the flames of sickening doubt and despair, and then peppered it with fun and friends. The result is that I want to tour again, and try even more. I feel this big weight lifted. I'm on the other side of the dreaded doubt. Unleash the parade! Throw confetti in the air! Let the chorus SING!
As Francine Prose says:
"You aim for what you want and if you don't get it, you don't get it, but if you don't aim, you don't get anything."
Amen to that. Amen

Hi Summer-
Right above the box where you type your post there is a little link that says "retrieve post" or something like that. I've used it and it works when you accidentally navigate away from your page without saving it and lose everything!
Welcome home, by the way, and congradulations of employment.
