New York Adventure 2012

I’m in New York at the moment, and it is just starting to snow.

We are supposed to get a lot of snow through out tonight and tomorrow.  From our room at the Super 8 (which is a nicer place than you’d think), we will watch the snow as we spend time working on various projects and getting ready for the new year.

Taking space to get things organized and prioritized and just generally sorted out is a big help with focus.

We stayed for a bit with Beth’s Ma & Pa at their lovely country home, with big dining room windows that look out on a the glacier-carved landscape, with many bird feeders and one old observatory.

Our flight leaves on Friday, and the snow should be cleared up by then.  Fingers crossed.  But for the next two days we will see several inches of snow falling.  Look for pictures at my G+.

It has been nice to sort of “step away” from real life and have an extended vacation where I can get a 30,000 ft view of where I’m at with my life, where I want to be, and what it will take to get there.  So I’m going to finish my cup of (delicious!) apple cider from Starbucks, and continue planning my new year.

Happy Holidays!
