Proof of life
We are making good gains on Europe, although the road ahead still feels quite long. Everything is fine, everyone is healthy and we are still loving this journey.
I am not sure if I am tired, busy with social activities or just unsure about the direction of this blog, but I am struggling with writing. That in itself makes me anxious. So it appears I have put myself in this vicious circle and I have not yet found a way to get out of it.
Thank you for sticking around anyway.I know. I see. I feel.
(I am still managing to post updates on the Facebook page, so if you are missing me and have not checked there, you know where to find me)
Ewww, right now I cannot think straight as the dog of the people we are staying with just produced, what must be the most unimaginably stinky fart while lying in my feet. For goodness sake…hurl…ahh…
See, I must be cursed by the writing gods.
Have a break, girl, till you find yourself again. We will wait for you here. :*
Be strong, but not too much!;)
we´ll be right here waiting for you.
Perhaps you have transitioned from “trip of a lifetime” to “normal way of life”. Very different blogging mentality one to the other.
Truly said, Liz.
Do you still know why you are blogging, what you want to tell us and what you want from life just now, Geri? Or is it just Central Europe, not picturesque and strange enough? (To me as an inhabitant: certainly…)
Jenny, Liz, I am not quite sure. I am starting to think that reality is settling in on me for some reason. Could be that the trip is definitely ‘normal way of life’ now. Could be that the budget is shrinking to a more pressing level. Could be that we have not made that much road gain and there is so much more to do… I don’t know really.
Could be just one of my thinking cocoon stages. Only time will tell.
Keep writing. When we were transisitioning from Asia to Hawaii life became same-ole-same-old. While others were impressed by the tropical flowers, and fruits, all I could think was, this is not Aisa.
An overly tiht budget can make one stressed too.
Now, four years alter, I so regret having not blogged that season of life. For now…I realize it was a season. A season worth writing about and with the passing of time becomes a season worth celebrating because you will conquer this stage.
So write, my warrior, traveling, blogging friend. Write if for no other reason because for the rest of us (currently on our comfy couches) are so dang bored without your blog. :)
I know you are right and that is why this stage is so hard. I will regret it, as the biggest reason I am writing here is for personal journal keeping. The company is a great bonus though. Especially when they are encouraging me to push on :)
