Snapshots

It’s been a while.

My last blog post was over a year ago and I feel like I’ve learned so much since then.  It’s time to write again.  So - I’m making a second go.

I recently re-read many of my posts.  It’s a strange thing to do - reading the ghost of myself from years ago.  Some posts were written in a place of pain and confusion.  Some were discoveries in clarity.  Some were just practicing the discipline of writing.  I'm glad I wrote all of them.  I liked that there was always a bit of light in shining through each one.  A few blog posts were actually a bit inspiring.  I needed to re-hear those words I'd written years ago.  I had a few moments where I thought “man - I need to do that again” - or some such thought.  Very strange... 

I don’t even remember where I was when I wrote.  I mean - I remembered many of the ideas - but not that places or emotions that I was going through at the time.  There were some ideas that think differently now.  “Truth” was one such entry.  I don’t see “Truth” the same way as I did back then.  I still enjoy reading my thoughts about it though - those thoughts led me to where I am today, but that was definitely “in the journey” type of blog post.  Truth is much bigger and better than subjectivity vs. objectivity.  (Nerd alert!)

My favorite surprise was when I told stories.  Not that I’m a good storyteller or anything - but the story blogs were a bit more entertaining than the others (with a few exceptions).  A lot of the blog posts were just moments in time - and were simply enjoyable for that.  Total snapshots of my life.  

So - that’s why I’ve come back.   It’s time to start taking snapshots again.  

So here's the first one...  

Have a great day!
