Footprints
I am settling into the next footprint of my life as the cute little kids play in the park outside the window of our (also cute) house on Lawrence Street in Eugene. Having your own house is kinda like having your own project. Renting your own house is kinda like having your own project-- except it's all gotta be torn down and handed back in the end. At least it's not like having a project at Burning Man, where it's all going up in flames after a week. Hah. Wait, that's not funny. Anyway, I love our house and I'm so stoked to be in this awesome town. I can't wait to go cruising on my bike with the camera, wandering aimlessly along the river, up through the forest, and back along the quiet leaf-filled streets-- seeing the beauty of it all. Keep a lookout for the first photo on Blink that was taken by a true Eugene resident. Whoohoo that's me! :) Peace, all.

Taking care of a house is a project for sure, but I never really thought of it quite that way, especially the idea that renting a house is like a project that is going to packed up at some point. Hmmm, with a project, it helps to know what you want to accomplish and to have a strategy for success or whatever goal you have in mind. I do go through a necessary process of deciding on priorities when packing or organizing my stuff. I guess my goal for a house is comfort, warmth, and usefulness with beautiful spaces here and there to remind me of people and other memories and joys of my life.
