Home Sweet Home
The four days between Christmas and today have been filled from morning to night with work and social functions. I got to spend lots of time with a whole bunch of people I love (Hi, people I love!), but oh my gosh it exhausted me. When I don’t get enough unstructured time, I start getting weird, so it felt like a blessing to have today at home to read and do the dishes and drink coffee and putter around. I’ve been more acutely aware this past year that I need to protect my time at home—that I need time to read and to write and to let my mind wander if I want to be sane. I also know some of the world’s coolest people, and I love spending time with them. Finding balance has been one of the things I’ve struggled with most in life. It’s a good struggle, though, a healthy one. Tomorrow I’ll celebrate the coming year with a long, unstructured day at home followed by a long, busy night among friends. If that isn’t a good omen for 2008, I don’t know what is.
