A New Year ...

It is a new year. Newer still because I have graduated with my bachlors in art - perhaps an unimpressive degree but it marks a transition in life none the less.

The holidays where good in spite of all of the working and running around. It was good to take a go at compromising on Christmas traditions with Chris, it was very good to have different people in and out of my house all of the time. And even though I kind of resented it sometimes, it was good to be working.

In this transitional time I want to read more and listen more. To take walks for the sake of walking. To be ok with being alone and to actually return phone calls. I want to pursue photography without being bound up by my fears and to trust God with this whole weird engagement thing.

Call them resolutions if you want (although I won't) but I do want to be intentional with my time, especially in a phase of life where it would be very easy to just get by and have nothing to show for these years when the mythical future morphs into the annoyingly unavoidable present.
