Trying to Finish What I Started

Added on by Taylor Smith.

Disappearing in Spain

Looking at this blog, it would be pretty easy to assume my stay in Spain ended with our trip to Italy way back in October. But, that’s not at all true. I guess my enthusiasm for keeping my blog updates kind of petered out around then. I think part of that is because we had visitors for the whole month of November, which kept us pretty busy. But, we were busy doing things, which is/was exactly the sort of thing I was trying to document, here.

Then, we came home to and I got busy again doing “life stuff” and I haven’t posted anything since November 1, 2023. The counterintuitive thing is that I generally enjoy writing, I find it kind of therapeutic, so when we got back home and I got busy with “life stuff,” it might have actually made me more stressed about all of that “life stuff” to ignore my blog and writing in general.

Isn’t that how it always seems to go?

Returning to Writing … Again

So, here I am with a whole semester between me and my last entry. Like I said, I actually find some solace in writing, so it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense that I tend to stop when things get busy. But, now that my first post-sabbatical semester is over, my head feels less crowded and I have an itch to try to revisit this space and kind of “pick up where I left off.”

Stay tuned for more info on the end of our stay in Spain and for more posts in general … probably :)
