looking back

i don't know why i haven't blogged in a month...sorry 'bout that...

this week, i'm attending a conference on entrepreneurship. i'm getting some new curriculum, meeting some fellow entrepreneurship-oreinted people, and enjoying the break from the ordinary work week. it's been good.

at several moments this week, i've had this thought - i love what i do in west virginia. you know when you've been doing something long enough that the questions and fears and worries and struggles and frustrations you had when you started just aren't there any more? and you're not as concerned about getting it perfect, cuz you know that 90% is just showing up (thanks to randy wallace for that jewel of a quote). and you're confident in the One who has been with you all along. that's kinda where i am.

it's nice to have roots somewhere. 5 years isn't that long to live somewhere, but it sure does make me realize that you live 5 years of life one day at a time.
