I feel like confetti....

This last year has been unreal. I don't know if I'm frantically searching for something or if my gut reactions are pulling me towards something huge. Wonderful. Frightening. Electric. Suck-your-breath-in-through-your-teeth-and-dive-into-freezing-water.

I keep trying to slow my mind down and enjoy the next few months. Taste every bite of food. Smile more (if that's humanly possible). Walk places. I'm trying, in vain, to train myself to savor my life. Maybe if I try hard enough I can develop some sort of photographic memory that not only catalogs sights, but also scents, feelings and sounds.... Things are going to be very different the next time I'm in Kentucky, so I want to catalog as much as I can.

It's just nearly impossible to do with my head and my heart shouting at me to move. Move! MOVE! The to-do list in my head is growing at an alarming rate...
