I have never been good at this blogging thing. I think it is just something that has to fit your personality, and although I certainly spend a lot of time on the computer, I am also a forgetful person that never remembers to do things like blog, or where the heck I put my keys, wallet, mind. So, a lot has changed in the many months since I last posted. My 2.5 year relationship ended sometime in December/January. What a great way to start the year (not!). And in my downward spiral of self-blame and pity, I decided it was time for a break. A major break. School, and all the pressures that come with it, have effectively created so much stress and chaos in my life, that I couldn't maintain even a relationship with someone that I cared about and loved. So, with my mother on the other side of the country and dying of cancer, I have decided to embark on a journey. A soul searching type of trip. I am packing up the car with the "kids" (read dogs) and heading out across country to visit a few friends and family along the way, search for some adventure and some meaning, and just see if I can figure some things out. I am just in a place right now where not much is making sense and I need to reconnect with "me", or be a little more mindful and a lot more present in the here and now. So, hopefully I can do a daily log of my trip and someone may stumble upon it and either be inspired or laugh or whatever may happen. This is day one: Clean the house, prep the car, pack, make arrangements with the roommate and then... TO THE WINDS.
