Coming Back to Blogging

I have been wanting to write for some time now; however, I am afraid I was suffering from writer's block. So many thoughts and ideas came to me, but I just could not seem to find the time nor inclination to write. I think a lot of this had to do with my transition from NC to TX. It has been filled with numerous challenges and blessings. One thing however, continued to plague my thoughts. . . my unsold home in NC.

We like so many others had the pleasure of owning a home that would not sell when it HAD to sale. I am pleased to say (after one year on the market) it has sold. I feel a huge weight is finally off our shoulders. Long, hard, and financially difficult to swallow; but finished. Sometimes relief is not getting what you want, but just being released from the pressure or burden. I am grateful that we are finished and now we can start rebuilding.

It shocked me to see that it had been a year and four months since my last blog. In that time, we have lost my mother-in-law, moved to TX, sold our home in NC, and my father-in-law has had a stroke. We have also been blessed with a job my husband loves, surrounded by family for the first time in 10 years, and fallen in love with a new wonderful town.

I think it was serendipitous that the last blog was "Taking Your Cup." It was a story about taking the changes in life and being willing to live and love the newness you were given. And that in so doing, we would realize that what we have always needed would be provided.

So here I am; grabbing my new cup here in Texas, and I hope to be back writing frequently. I hate that it has been so long to come back to something I love. But the important thing is that I come back to what I love.
