Long time....still kicking

Well it's been almost a year since my last post. Maybe good...maybe bad. Who knows? Life has sure been interesting. A short summary: I went back to school and finished my senior year of undergrad. Auditions went well. I got in to 2 schools out of 5. Not too bad for a girl from a town of 4000. I was forced to choose between a school that was going to ask for 2 grand a year and another that had a great name and in a great city. I chose the great name and city, New England Conservatory. (might have been the right choice...who knows) I also got in to Banff Music Festival for the summer. Great time! No words can describe... I graduated and everything was great!

Well in reading some of my posts from last year I realized that I'm still very much that same person I was just a year ago. Sure I've grown older, learned some more things, but really I'm the same. I'm still searching for all those lifelong questions....why am I here? Am I fufilled....etc. Do I think I'm closer to the answers? Maybe. It's hard to say. Life is such an interesting journey. I'd like to know what's around every corner and what lesson I'm to learn today, but I don't. I try to take it all as it comes in. Since moving to Boston I've adjusted to the new city and the new life that I have to lead and I've taken it all in stride. It's the farthest away I've been from my immediate family, and truthfully it doesn't really bother me. It's the farthest away I've been from the place I know the best....yet there's something familiar about the place I'm now calling home and the people I call my neighbors.

As I write this it's the eve of America's day of thanks. I'm not thinking about what I'm thankful about as much as thinking about life in general. There are so many questions to be asked and so many answers to come. Which ones to ask first? I guess I'll find out when the time comes to ask a question.

Right now I'll keep on pushing along, searching for my answers to whatever question I decide to ask. Life is full of surprises, mysteries and whatever else you can think up. I guess I'm thankful for that. Otherwise why live a life?
