I hope you find a way to do both that works for you.

Figu..."An examined life is worth living!" Figuring out how we can be happy and content can take a lifetime of trying to get it right. It seems to me that you are certainly headed in the right direction. Sharing your thoughts may help someone else out there in internet-land, someone who will read your words and the words will make a difference to their life. That's why I think blogging is a wonderful thing and you're doing a great job.

I'm so happy to hear that you are finding the balance with school and your downtime and if that means more blogging, well I have to say I'm pretty happy about that too! I hope things start to warm up there. I have to say - I've never been so cold for so long in my whole life! It got up to 32 today and it felt so warm! Next week is all in the teens with negative windchills, though, so it was short lived, sadly.

And I launch myself wholeheartedly into that. And I'm working in the Santa Fe public schools and I launch myself into that by turns. And I'm trying to re-invigorate my own blogging and find a space for it in my life. The result is that I just lurch back and forth from one identity/chief concern to another. I think for me it's because I'm not quite sure what I'm about yet, and I lurch back and forth in an attempt to figure out where I want to be and what I want to be doing. It's awesome that you're finding balance. I hope I do too, soon.

I'm working on that too. It seems to be an ongoing process - tweaking it here and there as things change.
