I’ve been getting some anxious emails and comments (and even a phone call) about my last post.
First of all, let me assuage all fears: Not Keeping Score is not going away. As I mentioned, I’m only over-hauling my life, not my blog — see? No big deal.
Perhaps, Dear Readers, you are forgetting that good-bye means hello — as I say good-bye to some familiar settings, it only means saying hello to some brand new juicy fodder for Not Keeping Score.
Now, to address the anxiety:
“Anxiety is the dizziness of freedom”
-Danish philosopher Soren Kierkegaard
(Quote directly ripped off from Rob Breszney’s Free Will Astrology. Yes, my addiction has gone beyond fortune cookies and the Magic 8-Ball, I’m afraid)
I’m posting this not only for my own benefit (it is true, I have been known to be afflicted with this thing here known as “anxiety”) but because I think my readers are experiencing Sympathy Anxiety and I must say — that’s touching.
It’s true. I am a little anxious; I (shhhhhh) have no idea what I’m doing with my life. (Well, that’s not completely true, but it makes for dramatic posting and the suspensful unfurling of Projects to come)
But all this head-spinning severing of ties feels goooood. I’m getting a chance to wipe the slate clean, take a step back, re-evaluate, and re-build. And that’s not anxiety, baby, that’s adrenaline.
Actually, that’s peace.
So let me prove to you that I’m still here for the long haul!
That I’m not going away!
That I’m [gulp] committed to you and Not Keeping Score!
(That took a lot for me to say. I have commitment issues that I’m working out –yet again–in therapy, Thankyouverymuch):
1.The Projects Page has been updated, and we will be launching new projects in the new year
2. Not Keeping Score will (hopefully) be getting a clean-up & makeover (anyone with web design skills interested in helping?)
3. Continued posts will be forthcoming
Hello,
