What a month!

Well, I guess it was quite a month, full of activity and not much time to fritter away posting here. The birthday holiday included yoga and meditation at Spirit Rock, a drive to Stinson Beach, a nice lunch, and more.

The result of the energizing month meant the catapulting of the vision for my library unit, taking on hopefully just enough church activities to keep me involved and shy of going crazy, and reassessing and realigning for the coming year. Yesterday was the first day of classes, so all the students are back. This means better people-watching, but also new bicyclists, which is always very dangerous (especially underweight freshwomen trying to power up a cruiser).

September energy burst

September always gives me an energy burst: it is the month of my birthday, the month when school starts (well, not much anymore as many schools start in August now after calendar restructuring), when the lazy heat of summer is broken down with cooler mornings, nights starting earlier....

Momentum is building in several areas. 1) Work promises some long-planned automation projects, which will help meet my overall goals for being here. A test of workflow ingenuity and people skills leading folks through change. Other projects in the futurizing/conceptualizing category brewing as well. 2) Home management is improving both in financial terms and relationships--becoming more conscious of the effect of communication (see James 3. 3) Knowing God: He is leading me into new territory, as I continue to learn how to die to self, listen better, venture out. I am leading a small group study in my church this fall, taking the plunge when not too long ago I would have thought myself not ready. Ready? Ready.
