		<description><![CDATA[Following the lead of Rachel and Tracy, I enjoyed their thoughtful manifestos so much. Autumn is my favorite season and is usually accompanied by a flurry of activity, plans and resolutions perhaps because of my childhood association with the beginning of the school year. Their posts encouraged me to pause and think about what I [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;m not entirely sure about 2008 yet &#8211; I would say that I&#8217;m ambivalent about it, but that&#8217;s not really the case. 2008 was a year of [...]]]></description>

Since posting has been a little sparse except for raffle updates, I thought I&#8217;d post a few pictures and notes to document this month that has just passed. Finished Sweet Caroline&#8217;s sweater, [...]]]></description>

So, an update on the activities of the last week (two, actually) in list [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[POTENTIAL This time of year always sneaks up on me. Although spring is my favorite time of year here in North Carolina (even rivaling Autumn in New Hampshire!) there&#8217;s a creeping sadness that comes with it, and sometimes, there&#8217;s just nothing to do but make a really excellent mess. Nothing says potential like bare earth. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Each year I find myself relating less and less Christmas and more and more to New Year&#8217;s. In part due to the overt commercialism associated with the Christmas holiday, the perceived pressure and expectations, but also and perhaps more than anything due to one very large hole in my heart belonging to the person who [...]]]></description>
