Starting a new life is rarely easy, but it can be rewarding if you but allow it to be. As I sit here in my office listening to the hustle and the bustle of a typical Friday in transportation, I am reminded of where I was when I started my previous blog.
Back then, January of 2008, I was sitting in my home office, in tears, missing a great love and trying to figure out how I would ever survive without him. No, he really didn't "leave" me, but he had just moved 1000 miles away and I was heartbroken. So what did I do? I wrote about our first date. It made me feel closer to him.
And you know what else? Writing about it made me feel better.
I really didn't start seriously blogging for about a year and a half after that, but I did ocassionally allow the power of posting my words to help me through some very difficult times. And then the writing bug really hit me and I devoted a good amount of time to it. I never did have one set course for my writing. It was always about what I felt like at that moment.
I think back and laugh at how many times some of us would be talking and say "Now that would make a great blog post!" Sometimes there is nothing better than the power of the written word.
I met life long friends in that far far away Blogland and for that I will always be grateful.
So today I start my journey in this "new" Blogland, silently hoping that I will come to love it as much as I used to.
I figure if I am sitting in an office again (albeit a different one) and pondering all sorts of things, it bodes well for this new blog of mine.
