I’ve spent days and weeks doing things or existing…no in=between. I have cared for my yard and garden. I have sat and read, finishing quite a number of books. I have made regular posts of FB…a good morning greeting/meditation, a daily list of 3 blessings I have experienced, and many posts of thoughts throughout the day. I have photographed my backyard and learned how to use my camera and camera software enough to get some simple pics. At times, I have worked on my ancestry info.
What I haven’t done is keep this blog going.
I think the reason has to do with the fact that I no longer need it for processing my journey out of grief and back into life. I have completed that journey.
I do love writing…and I miss having this expression of my thoughts and plans. BUT, I need now a new focus for this. Where do I go now?
A couple of changes I have made in response to Covid-19: (1) I have stopped offering my guest room on AirBnB. It was a nice addition to income, and I enjoyed hosting the various guests. But, my age and the smallness of my home made it more risky to do such hosting. Plus, receiving the rest of my inheritance from Mom’s estate has made my life a bit more comfortable for the time being, which means I do not need the added income. (2) I bought a used travel trailer in January. So far I have not had it out of my driveway, nor have I tried pulling and backing it. I made the decision at the beginning of the month that I would go camping this month. And, right now I have reservations for 9/20-9/23. Am I ready? Probably not. Will I succeed? Who knows? But, I will give it a try. (3) This summer I bought a laptop. In fact, I am using it right now to write this blog post. At first it was awkward to use as I am really comfortable with my desktop. But, I am beginning to feel more at ease now that I am using it more frequently.
So what does that mean for this blog? At present, I am not sure.
