It’s been awhile since my last post. Just didn’t have it in me. I seem to have it in me now. Since the day after Christmas I’ve been riding a small wave of optimism for the new year. I don’t think I’ve felt this way in years. I certainly didn’t feel this way last year. A year ago I simply felt a vague uneasiness about life. Today I have a spark of hope, and not really about anything specific. It’s just general optimism. It’s nice.
On Tuesday I start grad school. That’s good. I have a job that I enjoy, and feel secure in keeping. That’s good. I have about four or five unfinished songs kicking around in my head. That’s good. I am actually feeling motivated to write again. That’s good.
These things together are piled into a little stack of kindling. The spark that brings this together into a potential fire is an unexpected hope that has seemingly sprung from nowhere.
As things unfold this year I will attempt to chronicle the events here.
Onward.
