Loose ends

I’ve been feeling at loose ends a bit this week. I’m not certain what spurred on this bout of introspection, but it may have something to do with this procrastination quiz at iVillage.com, or the book “The Dark Heart of Italy” by Tobias Jones dredging up my feeling unconnected to previous goals, or last night’s pre-Mom visit cleaning of the “stuff” room. In any case, it’s not a terrifically comfortable feeling. Nor was the sight of many unfinished fiber projects in the guest closet, but I’m trying to take this one step at a time.

I have a lot of unfinished business in my life. Not to get all Dr. Phil, but I must be getting something out of leaving all of these projects hanging, wishes unfulfilled and commitments unresolved. I don’t know what that something is, but I’ve felt a lot closer to identifying it than I have in years, and I think it’s about time.

Now, I don’t think I’ll ever completely reform. But I’d really like to get a monkey or two off my back. Oh, and I’d like to join this web ring, but thank god it’s closed. Like I need another commitment.
