In one of those familiar turn of events, the week I should have been writing is the week when there is no time. There are easily 20 moments in this past week that deserve pen to paper but it has simply not been possible- not when I have to get up as early as I do to get to work or class. It\u2019s been non-stop since a week ago Saturday, not one day off, and every single day has held some element of surprise, some excellent curve ball. I\u2019ve not had time to think about most of them, let alone write about anything.<\/p>\n
I have a possible new opportunity that could change my life, certainly for the better, and possibly even keep me here for a more specific amount of time. I\u2019ve not yet felt grounded here, not on any level. I\u2019ve felt that at any moment, I might just lift off and float away. This has the possibility of making me feel a little more connected to my life here. But I won\u2019t know until next week how real this opportunity is, so I\u2019m trying my best not to count on it. If it happens, I\u2019ll yell it from the rooftops.<\/p>\n
I finished my Mastering Wine class on Friday, and found it to be perfect. Karen MacNeil is one of the most gifted teachers I\u2019ve ever known. Her passion, her authority, her very being is extraordinary, and I am sorely sad that I won\u2019t spend the next couple of years of my life in her company. Being around a woman so involved, so brilliant- it\u2019s almost enough to make me think I really, truly want to pursue this.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m at work as I write this, so I can\u2019t finish even a single thought without interruption. I hope to have a little time tonight to do what I gotta do.
