So, it’s been a while
It was May the last time I was posting regularly. It’s August now. I’m a terrible blogger. Thanks to Jesse for kicking my ass into doing this again, and for those few of you who do read this blog, sorry.
So a very broad-brushstroke overview of what’s been happening lately in my life:
In April I came to Tennessee to spend a few weeks with my Mom, before heading off to the next destination. It ended up being a few months. In that time, I started developing some good friendships in the area, and I ended up wanting to move to Chattanooga. I was planning on waiting ’til after October to make that decision, after a MTL course out west had come and gone.
The more I thought about moving to Chattanooga, though, the more I wanted to. One day, I got a call saying that the course out west had been moved to Georgia. I took this as a sign and announced to my family that, in August, I’d be moving to Chattanooga.
In June, I went down to Georgia for some different courses, and there I realized that it really wasn’t working for me to be living with my Mom, even if it was temporary, so I got back on the 30th of June, and by the 3rd of July I was settled into my fabulous new apartment in Chattanooga. My driving-around-the-country-wandering-aimlessly days are, for now, over.
The month of July was mostly devoted to moving and settling in, and then preparing for and teaming a course out in California. And that brings us to August. And damn, how time flies.
So now, I’m at a very new place in my life. Everything is new and different to me. I’ve got a new apartment, and new city, a new life, new furniture, new friendships, a new relationship, possibly soon a new job, and who knows what else is around the corner. If you fit into that category of new friends and relationships (you know who you are), thank you–you’re helping make this a very exciting time in my life.
For many people, change is just disorienting. For me it’s that, but also exciting and invigorating. I can’t help but wonder what new and wonderful thing Life is going to bring me next. And it also makes me appreciate the not-so-new; the constants in my life; the friends I know I can count on through it all. For those of you who fit into that category (you know who you are), thank you–you give me the boldness to step out and find those wonderful new things Life is offering.
So, hopefully, I’ll be back soon and post more. If I’m not, I hope I can count on you to kick my ass into writing something. 
Meanwhile, go count your blessings–new and old alike–and I’ll do the same.
