Teaching is all consuming and my wish for the future is to have a simpler, less stressful life with more time for my family, home and myself. Financially its going to be tough, but hopefully we will manage.<br /><br />I only discovered your blog a week or so ago but have devoured many, many of your posts.

I contemplated the word "focus" as well for a word of the year. In the end I didn't have one, but it is a very good word to choose I think.

It's funny how sometimes it takes just "stating the intention" and then things have a way of unravelling that way. Inviting some things in and just letting some go.lucent imageryhttp://www.lucentimagery.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5701097386033513768.post-63284003676618111842013-06-17T23:35:24.497+01:002013-06-17T23:35:24.497+01:00Claire it's good to read that your "focus...Claire it's good to read that your "focus" list is making such wonderful progress. I loved that you quoted my hero Henry David Thoreau as he has been such an inspiration for me since I discovered him at the age of sixteen. Something else he wrote in the conclusion of "Walden" fits perfectly with your last statement.<br />"In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty,nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."
