Every season, turn, turn, turn.... dang, I'm dizzy

In the next few months we have a couple things coming up that seem like they have been forever coming, but never arriving. This past weekend we met with our real estate agent and schedule the listing of our house, our open house, and signed some paper work. I have been working on our house for about three years now, and it looks like we are finally close to trying to sell it. In May, I should finish my Master's degree. I will walk out with a Master's in Public Administration, one master's certificate in nonprofit fundraising and another in community economic development. These hurdles have seemed so slow in coming, but we are almost there.

Lately I have had some reoccurring dreams about bringing closure to the past, shutting some old doors permanently. I think all this work is a sign of what I am really looking for: a good end. On one hand, it is incredibly exciting to bring a close to one season, on the other, it's a wee bit terrifying to have to know what the next season is and where it should take place. I traverse the space between these places in my mind about every other hour. Closure on the past, anticipating the future...

The weather today is crisp, clear... the kind of day that makes you feel alive. As the brutal summer starts to come to a close, I look forward to the cool of autumn, to a new season.
