I've neglected this blog for a little while now, but I just haven't had much to say lately. Work is increasingly strenuous and demands the lion's share of my time and mental energy. I'm also working on writing samples for graduate school applications, which consumes what little energy I have left after work, so not much blogging going on.

Somehow despite the rigors of work, and the financial stress of a shrinking paycheck and rising bills, and my health and fitness routine going off track, I feel pretty good about life. I don't like my life the way it is now, but I see possibilities. I like the direction I've chosen for myself. I just have to do the work to get where I want to be.

"And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt."
— Sylvia Plath

After a brief hiatus, the blog is back.
