happy 2006 (i hope i hope)
Hey, happy new year! Just 2 days into 2006 and already I'm frantically trying to accomplish this years' goals.
1. Move away from Austin
2. Cycle Europe
3. Get a new job.
4. Find a home I can settle in for a while.
5. Find the courage to accept the things I cannot changet, etc., etc., and so forth...
So how do I align 1. with 2. with 3.? I'd like to have a job lined up for after I accomplish 3. But what if I get a job offer? Would I put 3. on hold or turn the offer down? Can I accomplish 3 prior to 2. and 1.? Or does 5. really need to come first? And why is 5. the scariest thing of them all? 4. is really optional, more of a best case scenario provided 1. and 3. go according to plan.
Plan? No matter how much planning I do, 2006 is poised to be just as crazy as 2005. But this time, I hope to have a little bit more control over the changes. Let the changes roll with me, I say.

- Sri Chinmoy
I learned about Sri Chinmoy from the Victory Banner Restaurant, a slice of veggie heaven in Roscoe Village on Chicago's north side.
From the VB website:
All of us who work here are students of meditation, and study with the Indian Spiritual Master Sri Chinmoy. The restaurant is a reflection of the impact Sri Chinmoy has had on our lives, and it is inspired by him. His philosophy encourages a sincere inner life with an active outer life. By meditating on the spiritual heart, he teaches, the seeker can discover his own inner treasures of peace, joy, light and love.
