2005
New Year's Eve was a day of milling around New Paltz, eating Vietnamese, and watching the ball drop in Times Square -- from the comfort of our couch.
In general, there is not much to report. I am still plodding along with the Honeymoonized ChicKami, as well as the band for a Rowan hat pattern.
Tonight was knitting class, which is almost like a knitting circle. Class is wonderfully calming, and it is a pleasure to share time with such a mixed and interesting group of women. We welcomed a new addition to the class tonight. She works on a local farm. The farm makes cheese, honey, and yarn. Sign me up! Sadly, I supect that flirty skirts and kitten heels are not proper farm attire.
I am feeling a bit "lost" at the moment. My work life is not fulfilling, which makes me very unhappy. It seems that no job makes me happy, and that is a problem for someone who needs to work for a living. I simply ask that the work be meaningful, challenging, and enriching. So far, no good.
Resolutions? Inspired by Kate, I wrote a few things down that I would like to do during the course of the year, which included items to knit, language(s) to (re)learn, travel, and all of that.
In the wake of ongoing world events, I am thankful that I was able to celebrate the new and old year with a home, a family, and more material possessions than I care to admit that I own. Like many of you, war, tsunami, and auld lange syne make me aware of just how blessed and lucky I am.
To that end, I have only one resolution: To live with meaning and authenticity.
