Blogging Experience
Being home for the past 2 1/2 weeks has been phenomenal. The time is flying by and I feel so fortunate to have this time with my family. I am more relaxed, joyful, and mentally sharp. The hamster inside that little brain of mine is once again running at full capacity.
I started my blog back in September of last year as a way to journal my time in Argentina and keep in touch with family and friends back home. I’ve tried to write about a variety of topics as openly and honestly as possible. For the most part, I have done this. However, as I look over my posts for the last few months, the posts have been more sporadic and of an inferior quality. For this I apologize. My mind was cloudy at times and I did not take the time to write as I had before. Also, I realize at times it was too much about Vanesa and my emotions. I will continue to be forthright and transparent, but I also need to keep a few more things to myself. During the coming months, I will put forth my best effort to balance sharing my personal experiences and thoughts while also preserving a bit more privacy.
Blogging has taught me a wonderful thing about myself: I really enjoy writing. While I was cognizant of this before, blogging really helped me see this ability. There is something about taking the time to write that allows one to understand and examine themselves. Putting thoughts into words keeps the wheels of the mind turning continually. Blogging helps me think about the world around me more because I’m always wondering, “What can I write about next?”
I still have 10 days at home in the United States. After that time, look for some updates to this blog. I already have domain space and am looking at creating a small network of blogs where each site has a more specific focus. If there are topics you’d like to read about or specific changes you’d like to see, please feel free to email me.
Thank you to everyone who finds this page interesting enough to keep coming back. I enjoy receiving comments and am amazed at how many people I do not know that try to keep up with my writing. Thank you all very much and happy reading in the months to come.
