Year of Wonderment

i hereby declare 2011 the Year of Wonderment.

In honor of this, i resolve to live each day with my eyes wide open. To be amazed by something every single day. And rejoice with new discoveries, realizations, and reflections throughout the year.

Today, i'm standing on the starting line of a two-week drag race. Fourteen days until my departure from San Francisco. Tick-Tock. There are so many things to be done between now and then. My to-do list is creepy. New stuff keeps creeping onto it. i won't get everything i would like done by the time i leave. That's a given.

But i'm gonna do the best i can.

i wonder what things will be left undone when i finally point my Westy toward GIN and take my foot off the clutch... i wonder how many times i'm gonna say, "Oh! Shit! i meant to do X...", on my journey northward. i wonder how tough this two-week march to the starting line of life on Gilligan's Island North, is really going to be. i wonder... 

i wonder how many friends will come visit this year. And how many new friends i will make. And how our Ecovillage will progress through the year. So many things to wonder about in the Year of Wonderment...

My wish for each of you is that 2011 be better than 2010. But not as good as 2012 is going to be!
