Greetings from Outer Space

The planet looks quite lovely from up here ….

My birthday passed well, if quickly. I don’t think of my age much, but when I do, it’s still hard to think of myself as twenty-five. This isn’t because I feel old, mind, or that it’s some critical landmark in my life. Rather, because a lot happened while I was twenty-four, and it stretched out, and I got used to it. I’m happy to be twenty-five now, and so far the year has started out great.

A brief list of thanks:

Thanks to the wonderful girl in my life. You’re awesome!

Thanks to my friends and family. You all mean a lot to me.

Thanks to my readers. There aren’t many of you,
but I think you all kick ass.

Thanks to the bloggers I read, for making the world seem smaller and more accessible, and for reaffirming my faith that there are indeed good and interesting people out there.

I’m also thankful that I have work I enjoy,
that I have plans for the future that seem both fun and possible,
and that the world remains such an interesting place.
