today is the fourth, but it is also the last before the first (or, should i say, the fifth). tomorrow it all starts again. i am not sure if the knot in my throat is from excitement, anticipation, or dread. taking deep breaths (in through the nose, pause for five, out through the mouth) doesn’t seem to help. the list of things to do to prepare goes untouched as i think of the one thing that i really want to do. but fear of the unknown holds my fingers in it’s grip and does not allow them to dial the numbers.
what a wonderful month- shame it has to end in angst. family, friends, games, snow, food, hockey games, alpaca sightings, so much fun.
