august ch-ch-changes August 24, 2006

A hawk or falcon or some kind of large bird captured, killed, and flew off with a bluejay, right in our yard yesterday. This morning, a similar bluejay and hawk fight woke us up! I can't believe that last August we were in Brooklyn, dealing with entirely different kinds of scuffles, (burglars, people being shot in front of our apartment...).

It's strange how dramatically life changed because of the decision we made to move to Oregon, and the plans we put into motion, last August. It makes me think about all of the choices that I make everyday, and how they shape my whole life. What will I be up to a year from now? What will all of you be up to? It could be anything! Maybe I will start making August the, plans-in-motion-month, and check in next August to see how life has changed.
