So many exciting options are laid out before us now. Ben is looking at DC and at Chicago for a post-doc and I have very little to say about it. I am open to either place, but have to admit that I am a bit frustrated that he hasn't made a decision. He's in a really nice place- having options, but as a friend put it "he's immobilized." That hit the nail on the head. There are so many unknowns about the future that he can't move forward because he's not sure where each of his roads could take him. And I'm just along for the ride, ready to get my life moving, ready to prepare for a new city, ready to start my Tucson goodbyes.

I keep meaning to pick up The Mindfulness of Being so that I can better learn to just be present. I need help on this front. I don't want to keep thinking and reaching for tomorrow when today is perfect just the way it is.
