--- title: 'Upward, Carefully' date: '2011-09-21T08:23:28-04:00' permalink: /upward-carefully/ tags: - reflecting --- After two days at the [Ithaka Sustainable Scholarship](http://www.ithaka.org/about-ithaka/events/ithaka-sustainable-scholarship-2011) meeting, I’m back in the office today, and am taking a few minutes to take stock of where I am and what needs to be done. This may not be the ideal moment for such a taking-stock, as I’m a teeny bit torn up from having just fallen on the escalator coming out of the subway on my way into the office. (*Insult? Meet injury!*) But I’m trying not to take that as an omen; great stuff is ahead today, I can tell. Not least that this here blog is up and running again, and that I’ve got a new theme I’m mostly happy with (there’s still a bit of tinkering that needs to be done, though) and that I’m actually feeling a bit inspired by. So I’m hopeful that there will be actual content creation here in short order. In the meantime, stock-taking, wound-soothing, and upward-moving!
