back at the start

Twelve hours from clean slate, from resolution, from here we go again. I'm feeling optimistically curious-- curiously optimstic? perhaps-- for what comes next: eager, rather than hopeful. Because if my 2009 demonstrated anything, it was the power of just doing. A year ago, I had no idea, no intention. But at some point I realized never had doesn't mean can't, so I did and now I do. I don't measure my achievement in miles, and I don't really think of it in past tense. I love this photo, and not just for the memories of that morning it inspires. I look at it and think, "I made that happen!" And now, whatever it is, I'll do it again.
