Hiatus on Hiatus
It's been nearly 3 and half years since my last post. Hard to believe so much time has passed. I have been so busy, my life turned upside down by some major changes in so many ways... It's slowly settling back into some sort of normalcy and blogging surfaced in my mind when I decided to resume some activities I previously enjoyed.
One of the aforementioned major changes is my weight loss journey. It opened up a world of possibilities and has caused me to make a list of things I could now resume doing, but also a list of new activities to try that were simply not an option before, such as the hang gliding dream I wrote about in a previous entry. However, due to the associated costs and relatively short window of opportunity to try it out, I will have to tentatively postpone that particular activity to the summer of 2011.
Blogging, on the other hand, costs me nothing but time and going through old posts has reminded me of how soothing I used to find it. There is something very therapeutic, very liberating, about throwing your thoughts at the universe, free for all to read. Posts like Minivanophobiac were quite cathartic, for instance. The peace I derive from writing comes for the process of introspection I must go through before penning my thoughts. I feel that I must first distill the essence of my message before I can clearly express it. In doing so, I often make interesting connections between seemingly unrelated events of my life. In my lifelong quest to improve my understanding of human nature, this simple exercise becomes a valuable learning tool.
So enough slacking off and back to learning! Let's see... Which interesting connections shall I make today?
