I have been (obviously) relatively absent from the blogging world for the last week or so.  And of late (in general) my posts have been fewer and far(rer– wish that was a word) between.  I can’t apologize, as this has been a really great time of productivity and rest for me that has been much needed.  But I am excited for SO many of the things that are coming up in 2010 and I really desire to continue to use this blog as a way to share those things with you all.

This past Sunday was a real day of rest for me.  I recently got a membership at MoMA– and it’s one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time.  It’s well worth the membership.  The MOMA itself is a great museum with an excellent permanant collection, but there is also an incredible amount of events, films, and exhibits that move through the musuem annually.  There is literally something going on EVERY night of the week.  So I attended St. Thomas’s choral eucharist in the morning, had lunch at the MoMA’s cafe, spent an hour with Monet’s water lillies, and then a couple hours on the second floor of the exhibit, and then watched a film entitled “The Underground Orchestra,” which I really enjoyed.  All-in-all it was a really creatively inspiring day, but most importantly– relaxing and peaceful.

Well, I’m about to sign off (not before a couple of additional posts) but I will just re-emphasize how excited I am about things to come.  Possible Africa trips, a trip to Turks and Caicos, and coming up very soon, a trip to California and Colorado respectively.  As usual, stay tuned…
