Let this begin

Getting a blog started is harder than the spin makes it sound but maybe that is just me. Anyway, here I am and the sun has come out on another spring-like winter day in Maine. I am off to a job interview this afternoon and then another pre-interview tomorrow. Things are starting to move and I feel that I am close to getting settled. I am four days away from a year off work - I left the University of Otago on 28 January. That is amazing. The year has been not at all as expected and I will continue to reflect on it and what continues to happen. Right now my focus is on finding work, finding a more permanent home and creating a community. There is some interesting stuff happening and I would love to be part of it. Patience, that is the hard part of beingKMY. But it is something this year and this life so far has been continually trying to teach me.
