This one goes to eleven!

The magnificent redwoods, experienced in 2010

Yeah, roight, I could've made 2010 the year that the resolutions happened. The year that the debts got paid, the weight got lost, the old bullshit got resolved, I worked out to the point of glorious habit, I rode Jordan into real dressage heights, I went places instead of sat at my computer. Well, 2010 wasn't really those things, true that is, unfortunately. I've put off writing a 2011 blog post because I was *bummed out* by the prospect of yet another resolutions type post knowing good and foolish well that the previous few were posted for all the world to see but not completed. Not met.

But, I realized in a little introspective moment tonight... Some amazing things happened this year. And I did START on those planned things, I did make some headway in those directions. The intent was there and the steps attempted but not really carried all the way through. That snowball didn't quite make it all the way around the rotation to start to really pick up some noticeable speed. But surely it is working its way around, it surely IS picking up more of itself as it proceeds, isn't it? Maybe it is more glacier like... than a bounding snowball. But glaciers move mountains over time.

And after all, 2010 ... it only went to 10. This one goes to ELEVEN!
