So a handful of my friends have called and e-mailed asking me for a favor. Would I give them the secret password to my blog?
Well, if you're here, you know there's no secret password. Just a new blog address. So say hello if you're here so I know that you're still comin by.
Anyway, since that crazy day in January when I survived the meat-grinder foreign service interview that, looking back, had consumed me for a good six months, I've slowly come back to earth mentally. I'm coming out of a horrible habit. It's what my Japanese friend calls a "Tsugi! Tsugi!" mode when I'm constantly thinking about what's "next." She pointed this out when I was serving dinner for a couple Japanese friends and while we were eating, I asked them whether they preferred tea or coffee after the meal, so I can get them going as we ate. Needless to say, they laughed at me and told me to sit down and enjoy the food with them.
That's sort of the mode I've been in. Well, for those of you who know me, I've been in that mode for longer than six months... :) more like most of college and adult life. Hence all my blogging about living in the moment -- we blog about what eludes us.
But thanks to my friend, I'm thinking less about what's next and more about what's here. I have this nagging feeling that God has cut me and Aric a ticket for an adventure over the next year or so. Now if only I can stop obsessing about Aric and Kyle's birthday bash this weekend...
