New Things

I tried to start a new blog that could combine this blog and my old blog. Something fresh, exciting, with fancy tabs over on wordpress.

But I think as we approach our own new things in this family (mostly spellbound baby #2) I am feeling wistful for these old blogs. I want to stay snuggled in the familiar.

But I do still want to write about all the new things the new blog was going to feature.

Since my father died last year I have been thinking almost daily about happiness and the kind of life I want to live. I want to start writing about some of this processing and the kind of mindful parenting I practice.

I keep seeing parallels in the way I think about parenting and the way others think about broader philosophical inquiries. I know a lot of people that look at parenting the way I do, but don't express it the way I do.

These are just beginning thoughts for the new things to come.
