It's been difficult to stay away...
I started blogging pretty early in my life. For me, it was a natural progression from twenty some years of journal writing.
My first blog was therapy. It was your typical, heartbroken girl trying to understand a big breakup. The second chronicled my adventures in dating. It was a great way to open my world to other people and connect with others. Blogging was a chance for me to see outside of my little universe to learn about the perspectives of people who I will likely never meet - be it players, daters, travellers, diners, adventurers, New Yorkers, Californians, Canadians, runners, artists. I enjoyed sharing stories with many of the people I connected with along the way.
But then, the world swallowed me and I disappeared into the world of marriage, house, and baby. It's been wonderful, but the circles in which one swims change. In some sense the world feels smaller, but at the same time it grows. No one ever said raising children is easy but it can be extremely rewarding.
Two years later, I find myself needing to revisit me. I'm not a fresh-faced, twenty-something gal out to conquer the world. I still want to be challenged, I still want to learn, but give me time to make a healthy meal for my family, run some errands, play ball with my son before he goes to bed, and have a little one-on-one time with my husband. Is that so much to ask?
So here I am.
