Just a Reminder

Once again, my life is up in the air. I have no clue where I will be and what I will be doing come October 1, when my contract at my current job is up. But I will figure it out... eventually. I just hope that I will be able to sit still for a few years, just so I have a place to be grounded for a while. But I thought I would put up something I wrote a few years back—to get myself into the right mindset once again:

The day I realized my passion was the day I realized I could perhaps make one small difference in the world by writing about what I have seen and heard, that I might change someone somewhere by truthfully and professionally informing my community, that I could talk to whomever I wished and get the answers I wanted, that all I needed in life was a pen and a pad of paper and I could get by, that my job as an observer is a serious one that I will not compromise—for whenever there has been conflict and war, love and honor, grief and loss, there has been a journalist unnoticed in the background, waiting to tell the story.

I have to get back on track, if not for anything but the feeling of personal achievement.

And, random side note, which I don't know why I am inserting in here but oh well, I love Loreena McKennitt.

Where is my snow day???

Ok so there was about five inches of snow on the ground when I woke up this morning and I was almost POSITIVE we were going to have a snow day... and then... no dice.

Merrrrrr that is really annoying. And now I am in a horrid mood. And I will tell you why. Cause I am bored all the time and I feel trapped. Wah wah, right? But it's true.

But I will STILL put in some things that I am happy about today (although I am about a month behind my "point of turnaround"... what can I say... not much apparently.)

I am very happy that I did not get into a car accident this morning, and that there weren't many people on the road when I left for work. I am also very happy that I will get to listen to NPR on the way home. And I will be veryyy happy if it snows and snows tonight and that ever elusive snow day will be unable to evade me tomorrow. Yarrrr I hope.
