Even though I had posts up regularly over the past two weeks, many of them I had scheduled long ahead of time before our trip, then I took another break after we returned. It is harder than usual to get back into posting daily for some reason. It feels as if I lost momentum and have been in my head more than usual. Things have shifted in an interesting way and I feel that familiar itch that usually comes with a new season &#8212; the feeling of something in the air and a need to reassess life and how we live it. Only it&#8217;s still the middle of the summer and there is no real change of seasons.<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t explain it really, only to assume that all the processing of what we experienced has not yet run its course and until it does I will feel unsettled. There is no value in this feeling; it is neither good nor bad, just&#8230; itchy and needing time.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot I want in this life for my family and myself. And interesting experiences, adventures, memories and opportunities to be better and grow present themselves and sometimes confound that feeling. It is good and uncomfortable all at once, as I guess life is! I do want to blog, I do want to share, and I guess the trouble is when something so big happens that I\u00a0<em>can&#8217;t\u00a0<\/em>blog about or share, it feels difficult to move forward and pretend like it never happened! So I guess my solution for now is to write about it and not hit publish, and hope that maybe in the future I will be able to share! So for now, I move forward and live and embrace the discomfort.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has been a while since I&#8217;ve written a blog post.
