The Title is ______.

feeling good

today i gave the final go ahead on my cd. should be back soon.


in other reflections, i can't believe how fast this year has gone. (late january 06 to late january 07 to be precise.) the other day i was talking to my almost-doctor friend on the phone and we starting thinking about the unusual and surprising paths life has taken us on...and yet some things are exactly the way we expected them to be.


here's an example: I write songs. i also remember back in high school being absolutely positive that i would live at least until i made a cd because it felt like something i was destined to do. (this was before everyone and their mother made cds. and i was just in high school.) well. i have made two cds to date...but instead of feeling like i have fulfilled some sort of grand purpose, i actually feel less sure about what on god's green earth i am actually doing with my life.

here's another example: my friend has been pursuing a career in medicine for more years than she probably cares to remember. and now it is actually a reality. she is doing what she knows she is meant to do, but there are still countless surprises and bonuses that creep in along the way (she got married last summer).

there are some things about my life that i have always known to be true; things i have known would come to pass...but they do not and have not ever happened in a way that i could have remotely predicted. ...if they HAD happened the way i wanted them to, i would be miserable. seriously miserable. it's important that i keep this fact in mind whenever i am tempted to complain or feel frustrated with particular things in my life. ah well. i realize that this post is boring. but blogging helps me think. all you fine folk reading this get an inside look in to my thought process. i like to think about things (lucky for you. or not.)

i feel pretty good today. i think i am going to make some tea and think some more.
