That Was Then... This Is Now...

I think I'm finally starting to find a way into 2010.

I don't want to seem impatient. After all, it's only January 7th. But, I think I'm starting to find a rhythm: my rhythm. The problem is, I'm not altogether comfortable with exactly how that rhythm feels yet. It's a work/life balance 'thing' I'm just going to have work my way through. The problem is, working my way through it is complicated given the nature of everything I do.

Because of everything I do, I made a concerted effort to shed responsibilities: to simplify my life, both at home and at work. I was successful, although that success did not come without at least

Last year was difficult for me and just about everyone I know. Nevertheless, we all managed to get through it somehow. That actually sounds easier than it was.
