beginnings

So this collection of my personal ruminations begins at, what many would consider a new chapter or even a new volume, of my life. I got married a little over a month ago, started grad school just under a week ago, and started a full-time job that I hope won’t be my career just under two weeks ago. Jenna (the wife of just over a month) and I moved to the CBL almost a month ago and we’re slowly adjusting.

I tend to think that life, or success at life, is all about ones ability to cope with differences–to adjust. Whether it’s small matters like limiting your sugar intake or massive undertakings like packing up your life and moving eleven-hundred miles from what has been home for four years, life is about adjusting.

It hasn’t been as hard as I feared it would be. I have a few amazing friends in the city on whom I can rely and I have Jenna who is my rock (yes, it’s trite to say this, but I’ve done it because it’s true). I have a supportive family and loving friends and kind strangers in every imaginable spot on the earth. I, too, have a little niche on the interwub where I can leave my thoughts for a very few readers (because who wants to read my thoughts too often?) and life couldn’t be much sweeter.
