2009

I layed/lied (which is it Nici?) in bed staring at this window for a long time this morning, not sure what to think about my life. Another year past...Right now, I can´t seem to understand why we count our lives in years and our days in minutes. Sure, it´s helpful for keeping track, yet in doing so I feel I´m missing my purpose. Missing what this life is really all about. We take photos and hold on to things: objects, memories, concepts of self. Yet ´time´ moves on. The ´years´ pass and we all grow ´older´. What am I missing? In order to understand myself, I spend time thinking about how I spent 2008. I´ve certainly focused more on how I want to live. I took a Yoga teacher training and a Permaculture course. I´ve joined Mike in traveling through South America! Potlucks, Loved Ones, Travel, Wilderness, Adventure, Family. My sister got married!!! So did Andi Jo!! Lily was born!!! We celebrated Grandma and Grandpa´s 60th wedding anniversary! Clay and Em got engaged! So did Jack! Cheri left me for the L-word! :) Luv you Cher! Joy and Elizabeth got a puppy! Tim and Gecko got the new house...and chickens! I got some wonderful new housemates! What wonderful people I´ve shared and learned with this past year! Thank you to all of you who have been and continue to be such a special part of my life! I feel so fortunate to have such amazing people in my life!

We are headed up the coast of Peru tonight. We might go sandboarding tomorrow! Love to all! Kisses and hugs and smooches and smacks on the rear and maybe in the face for some of you special folks!
