beginnings

The last two weeks have been so packed with people and events that I couldn't begin to recount it all. And the weeks ahead are so full of quiet promise, to say nothing of the year that stretches out beyond. Overwhelmingness is best broken down with lists, I find, and there's so much that I'm thankful for at the moment that I'm going to begin my year's blogging with the sort of list most people make in late November. Because I like to be different. (And also because Thanksgiving tends to be a stressful time, which isn't all that conducive to feelings of gratitude.)
