It’s been a year and a bit – an eternity on the internet – since I began my foray into the
blogosphere.
I remember the good times , the
adventures and the
setbacks.
But mostly, I remember the challenge.
Sadly, “Everything’s not terrible” doesn’t even begin to describe my life anymore. Everything’s just the way it should be, just the way I always imagined it would be, but only in my most fantastically optimistic moments. There are those who live in the past, perhaps spinning their tires remembering ‘best years of their life’ in high school, and those who live for the future, when things will be better. I’ve always enjoyed a good balance between the two – because both are important – but these days everything seems to balance perfectly.
The important thing – if I can leave this place with a bit of advice – is to remember to catch the moments between past and future, because in those moments we can find meaningful contentment. And it is in that feeling that we find the content, the substance, of who we all are.
My muse, my inspiration, and my motivation, K, always says that her blog in an exercise in writing. To do so everyday whether you want to or not, she would say, prepares you for those times where you have to write on command and simply improves your craft.
It’s with that in mind that I begin my new blog and bid farewell to this one.
