I&#8217;ve had several good friends point out to me recently how I seem to be constantly&nbsp; justifying&nbsp; to myself&nbsp; why my situation and mindset have to be just the way they are. I&#8217;m realizing that I&#8217;ve become much less open to the world in the last year. This time last year,we were struggling as we approached the first anniversary of Sam&#8217;s passing.. even so, I felt open and alive. I was determined to take my grief and hammer it into something good and useful for me and the world. I put that intention out there and a mountian of possibilities and opportunites showed up. It happened in just about every facet of my life. Just in the area of workign with kids and science a ton of things opened up::<i>e,g,&nbsp;<\/i> the champlain project, the echo porjects, the UVM Board, the ISCAS and ISCCC&nbsp; conference invitations, burning man with Max, the pumpkin project, the breathing game with UVM and Champlain.&nbsp; <br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp; THis year I&#8217;m approachign this sad time feeling much more subdued and .. I don&#8217;t know.. dull ? .. I&#8217;v ebeen thing a bunch about it.. in fact.. I&#8217;m taking the next 2 weeks off form work to think about nothing else&#8230; My gaol is to get back in touch with what I need to be doing.. and what I want to be doing..&nbsp;&nbsp; I&#8217;m feelign better just by making that committemnet to think about these things&#8230;<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I was lying in bed last night thinking about it when a small insight popped into my head. I was htinkign about the short TV interview that WCAX did of me abotu doing the Huanted Forest Pumpkin guy as a tribbute t Sam.. The last thing I said in that interview was <i>&#8220;&#8230; at it&#8217;s essense, life is about love and fun&#8230; really &#8221;&nbsp; ..<\/i> Now there&#8217;s something fr me to think about..&nbsp; Right now though.. I gotta sleep<br \/>Nite all.. Nite Sam !<br \/>-me<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So&#8230; I&#8217;ve been thinking about how to get back in the cosmic groove that I so much need to be in.
