In a Phase Right Now
I have gotten several emails from folks who have noticed I am not blogging or twittering or whatever all that much lately, and were wondering if something was wrong.
No, not really. I am just in a phase in my life right now where something had to give, and right now it has to be my online community.
I got married at the end of October, but all of October was a blur, what with family in from out of town, planning for the wedding, moving into the new place and so on. Then we went out of town, thanks to the generosity of some friends, and spent a week at the beach. Then I came back and entered what was my busiest two months in recent memory- speaking and traveling and writing and so on. And then came Christmas and Thanksgiving. The last week of the year found Renee in the hospital, having surgery to try to fix one of the major symptoms of her heart disease.
In short, if I want to look for the last “normal” week I had, it was somewhere back in September.
Until last week, which was the first week after her surgery that Renee felt completely normal and we could resume (or rather begin) our normal, day to day life. So we are fine – just living. We are trying to establish a rhythm of life – both of us work best with routine and schedules – to gain a sense of what “normal” looks like for us.
So bear with us, would you?
I hope to return to blogging regularly (for fun) soon. Until then, it will be sporadic and crazy – but you are never far from my thoughts.
