…and where the heck did January go, anyway? It was right after New Year’s day that I fired up the blog again, wrestled with some “technical problems” that turned out to be operator error, and was going to start writing.
Now it’s the last day of January already. Wow. I tell you, people, don’t blink.
In the interest of being chronological, what happened in 2011? Well, I dropped worrying about blogging. I wanted to pay more attention to living and feeling and growing. I’ve done a LOT of growing; this has really been a watershed year in a number of ways. Some of that will come out, probably, as I write this year. I rode my bike – a lot (at least for me). I did my first Chicago 4-Star Bike Tour in August, with my friend Karin. We had a lovely day and a great time. I did some contract work with several small and one rather large client – interesting work, good people. I went to the EEFC East Coast workshop as usual. I sang with Sing to Live and in the chorus for the Handel Festival. I spent time with good friends, and time alone. It was a good year all the way around,.
And where DID January go? Well, part of it went to a trip to NYC to attend Golden Festival. It was a really fabulous experience; so fabulous I’ll probably devote a whole post to it soon. There was the usual work and rehearsing. Chicago had 2 snowstorms; one just before my trip to New York. I’ve only gotten out to cross-country ski on the Salt Creek Trail twice. But, unbelievably, I’ve been out on my bike 3 times. We’ve had so much mild weather that it seemed like the thing to do. Two of the rides were also fun time with Karin but today I rode on my own. It felt good.
2012 is going to feel good, I can tell.
