here and now

after that whirlwind trip to north america a month ago, quickly followed by the christmas season, comes the credit card bills. horrendous of course. i braced myself for it but the reality is still jolting. consolation: the trip's memories and impressions are priceless.

here are some things i have set my sights on for 2006: (1) to live away longer from this country because i think familiarity has bred much contempt and so that there won't be any regrets, (2) to be more honest with people i work with (allowing one's kindness to be abused is deliberate cruelty to oneself), (3) to travel more, (4) to write more for my own reasons, not necessarily professional, and (5) to trust the workings of Divine Providence more than my own worries and contemplations.
