Exploring the Essence of Me

A friend asked me the other day why I had stopped blogging.  To be honest, I just had not felt the tug lately to write here - but I have written plenty and stored those thoughts in other places.

Catching up now - I realize that this is just as much a part of me as the other areas.

I have written in a journal, I have written a short story, I have captured words in my heart and mind and soul.

I wrote earlier about an invincible summer that I felt was coming.  I'm not sure where that is at the moment - although the feeling, though somewhat diminished, is still there.  I have come to realize that I have some very dear friends.  Friends who have let me have meltdowns, who have helped me understand myself, who accept me for me and who have encouraged me to explore that essence of me.

I have learned to not sit back and accept what is handed to me, I am learning to take control of my life.  I am exploring through friends, many different things.  I go out more often, I have painted a few things, I am learning that I like a variety of music and I realize that I like to write.

This summer should prove most interesting for me.  I am taking several trips by myself - to meet people, to reconnect with friends and to explore.  I will be going to the theatre, attending a wedding and attending a wine tasting.

Writing and exploring - all a part of a journey I am on. 
I will continue to write and more importantly,
I will explore and find out more about me.

Love,
Forever and a day
