So, I heard at one point in time before I started writing a blog that if you make it past your sophomore year of writing a blog, it just might stick, and it might become a habit. Well, I didn’t. This post is not my rejuvenation serum, but I do have a few things to say, and chronicling them here seemed like a good idea.
A reason for the hiatus from writing here might be categorized with a short run down of things that have happened since I last wrote. So here goes the shortened version:
- We moved home from Germany
- We moved into in-laws house
- Wife was diagnosed with 2 different cancers (breast, thyroid)
A few weeks before the “Cancer News”
- I stopped racing
- 9 months of surgery, recovery, fear, and long days ensued
Recovery in full swing!
- Wife was given clean bill of health
- I started racing again
- We bought our own house and moved out of in-laws house
The house where our kids will grow up.
- Kids’ lives got busy
- Another year flew by
- I was asked if I still write a blog
- I looked at my blog
And here we are! I know there is a lot to rehash within those bullet points, and I might do that some other time, but I doubt it. We’ll see. In all honesty, writing for me creates a placeholder in my life. I understand why people keep journals. I am very consistent in many areas of my life. Just not that one. I think that is O.K. too. Pages are turned, new adventures begin. Life goes in a different direction at times than where we originally intended it to go, and that seems to make it interesting. One thing is certain; if I do start writing again, I will do so with more posts about my endurance events. It seems that for my sanity during the past few years, I have at least stayed consistent with those. So, stay tuned, or maybe don’t…
Our current state of happiness!
