I've blogged for almost 5 years now. I've loved it and felt it to be quite a good experience in sharing the depths of my heart. My biggest problem tended to be that I used it more like a conversation with a girlfriend. Except that when my life got difficult I didn't want to share with the rest of the world what I would share with a chosen friend or two.

And life IS difficult.

So, I stopped writing. Add a new baby into the mix, a state to state move into a house that needs more renovations then I ever planned, homeschooling two bouncy boys, and my ever churning thought processes on life, it just seemed that I couldn't sit down and put my thoughts to paper.

I took a long leave of absence. In that time, I've prayed alot about what I want to write about. You see, I've been given a gift. My last name means "scribe." And while I married into that last name, I know that God had it all planned out. I'm supposed to write. It's one of the very things that I was created to do on this earth.

I'll use my last blog as a book for my children someday. I will print it, I will bind it, and I will pass it on to my children and my children's children. That blogs time has come to an end. I need to start over. Something fresh and new.

I've titled this entire blog, Enjoy the Journey again. There is a massive reason for that. My husband says that I think too much. He tells me that he would like to put one of "my gerbils" into a permanent sleep. I think, I ponder, I dig deep, I get to the root of things. Often times then not, I find myself somewhat melancholy. This leads to frustration, which leads to a bit of anxiety, and that often leads to an unhappy home.

But living this life isn't a means to an end. There is so much to discover, so much to learn, so much to build upon. If I spend my days sour and grumpy, tired and too deep, I'll die scared and full of regret.

I want to live my life with purpose. I want to find joy in daily life. I want to stop living in fear that maybe today will be my last (isn't that crazy?). I want to enjoy the journey of this life, one day at a time. While I am sure that in someways this blog will have the same flavor and spirit of the last, I am excited to begin a new book.

Welcome!
