I'm not sure where I'm going so I'm just going to start and see what happens. I haven't written much of anything except job descriptions and emails and policies for the past several years. I miss my blog...a lot. It gave me a reason to do some introspection and expression and I realize now how much I like and need both.
The photo I chose here is from the football (soccer) stadium in Lyon, France. Taken during our trip in June/July of this year. It was France vs. Ireland. The country I love vs. the country of my people. I'm sighing as I write this...remembering what a wonderful trip this was. More on that trip later.
My feeling of wanting to write again comes, I believe, most recently from a book I'm reading (listening to). Amongst other things, one of the topics is about the need for people to maintain a self. A separate part of themselves not tied to their kids, spouse etc. in order to continue growing and playing and being as an independent soul. A person. Not a wife, mother, daughter, employee etc. And it occurs to me that I have been neglecting a part of my self. Writing used to give me an avenue to think to myself, about myself and my interests regardless of what others expect or need of me.
So here I am. I've grown and changed in many ways since I last kept up this blog.
- I've done a LOT more traveling.
- I've been at my "new" job for almost 3 years now.
- I've started painting.
- I belong to a museum.
- I joined a new book club.
- I became gravely ill and rebounded (mostly)
- I lost my Mother-in-law
I'm sure I've missed something important...
And so with this....I'm giving myself permission...to express...explore...declare...try...discover...
