A little bit of mental/intellectual housecleaning is in order perhaps. Its the start of a New Year and for me, the start of pretty much a whole new life and I'm so far about 8 days behind on getting my shit together.

For the last 6 months I am pretty sure my brain has been running on auto-pilot. Sure part of that time was spent in Exercise, Health and Nutrition 100 which was obviously taxing and part of that time was spent in India doing all of that stuff but somewhere along the way I think I lost my inner compass for sharp new ideas and fresh analytical vantages. Brainstorming right now makes me feel like a heavy out of shape 40 year old in grey sweats huffing and puffing it up a flight of stairs. In conversations my tongue searches frantically for articulate phrasing I used to call upon effortlessly. Somewhere along the way I think I must have lost my mental mojo.

But its time to get it all back. I've been reading and reading and reading for months trying to coax my brain out of hibernation. I've been posing questions to which I have no capacity for answers. Now finally, with real employment (ok lets be honest, an internship but a 40 hour work week is something for me these days) just around the corner I think I'm finally starting to find my way out of this f-ing stupor.

Purpose I think is the key, or maybe it is just impetus, or maybe I've just been biding my time, who knows. In any case, its 2008, and I'm thinking by February I might be ready for it. Shout out to all of those who've kept me thinking, kept my positions in a state of useful flux, who've kept me challenged along the way. Here's to making it all into something for 2008.
