Hi guys,Sorry. I have been away because I had browser problems, which compounded into internet security problems, and vista problems and now I am just swamped with too much stuff. I am moving in twelve days. I finished a presentation today for my lab - in the nick of time. Actually, I could have done with another half hour beforehand to clean things up a bit and make sure I was a little more timely.
What I can say is that life moves forward, with or without you and when you don't keep up with it or stop to notice, sometimes the things in life that you actually want to do just don't get done. I have two list of priorities - one in order of the things I have to do, and the other in order of what I would prefer to do. Somewhere in the middle of those two lists I try to strike a compromise of how to run my life so that I am happy and well-balanced. I apologize to myself for letting things fall by the wayside, occasionally. Most importantly, I should just learn to never have lists that are so long that I have to make any compromises!
On that note, when I get settled into my new home, I will be making some choices about what stays and what goes. Within months of moving I will be letting go of many of the things from my Peteroborough life (Graduate Student Association Duties, teaching, lab work) and I will be accepting new challenges (Thesis defense, job hunting, house hunting, helping build a community learning center) and I will need to let go - will it be my blog, my art, going out dancing and shopping? Right now I can't predict the future. I can only see the many lists of stuff that tug at the minutes of my life.
