e·qua·nim·i·ty

15Feb12

Life is interesting.

Truly.

In my forties, I am starting over somewhat, and reinventing myself. I’m trying to make this version a little bit closer to the truth.

That’s important to me. The truth.

I guess my new mission statement is to live truthfully and with equanimity.

Sounds good, right?

This seems to sum up my present circumstances:

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I intended to be.
