A new era
It really is, don't try to deny it. Nah, I'll keep it up as long as I can. But who am I to be bummed? I accomplished a lot and enjoyed much in this last era and I am very satifisfied.
What is this era? Well a long term friend of Ryan's and fan of Staring Back just recently e-mailed him and besides everything else he commented on about happening this year, he commented on how he was getting married along with everyone else he knows, it seems to be thing, everyone's "settling down." I turn around and look at us and it's the exact same thing, in the past year I've been to five weddings, the last one I went to before all this was 2001. So it's like whoa us too. BUT don't get to caught up on that settling down thing. I mean come on, since when does monogamy mean your settling. I think it's better, personally, and by no means settling, I mean the way I see it, it's just a new step and ramping up for more. It's like your combining powers and BAP! Look what we can do! Which I find to be quite the case, everything that Ryan and I have done together I am very proud of. Our lives as a whole are the way they are because we've worked really hard at it together.
Anyways back to this era thing, it's more then just the marital status changing, it's people moving either across the Pacific, or to counties south of Santa Barbara, and people starting new jobs, and all that stuff.
But one of the most important things to summaraize it all is we are in this new era where you are becoming your thoughts, I'm going to have to get the quote from my sister....I think this is it?
"Thoughts lead on to purposes; purposes go forth in action; actions form habits; habits decide character; and character fixes our destiny." -Tyron Edwards
and that's why this new era as sad as it is, brings such enthusiasm to me. Becuase we're one step deeper into this path.

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
