Hello Again
For the last few years, I have made a New Years intention to publish something on my blog again. I am barely making it this year, but I am clearly out of practice.
During Covid, I changed routines and interests. Perhaps because I was working online, I couldn’t escape to my laptop to edit photos and write blog posts. I started listening to audio books more and listening to music less. My kids grew up and started college. I got engaged. I stopped teaching art and began teaching Special Education. I also stopped taking my camera everywhere… but I have taken it a few places.

In 2024, I traveled to Europe for the first time. Later in 2024, I returned to Europe to visit my daughter who was studying in Copenhagen. During the summer of 2025, I went to Europe again. If I am being honest, I was afraid to travel to Europe, because I didn’t know how my epilepsy would be impacted by the time difference and demands from travel.
When I started writing this post earlier this week, I learned that my older blog was deleted by the hosting company. (The company closed and deleted all users work.) I felt sick that I hadn’t backed up the entire blog. Even though I haven’t been writing much recently, I still wanted to save my memories and share with my kids now that they are older.
When I was writing often, I thought about how my posts would look before I started writing. I would take photos that I knew would work as featured images. I knew how to structure my writing. I have lost some of these memories as well. I don’t know how this will look when I hit the publish button.
Stay tuned. I hope to create and recreate some more memories.
Happy New Year
