I feel like I have so much to say and yet can’t find the words to make my thoughts coherent. I could say that I’ve been absent from my blog because of busyness. That’s only partly true (Although I find my new obsession with taking pictures does eat up my hours very quickly).
I sit here staring at the blinking cursor and I’m still at a loss for words. Most of my thoughts and emotions of the last 2 weeks (even the last 6-8 months) have been so private that I’ve been unable to share them other than with my closest friends. Hence the lack of blogging around here.
It seems that with the advent of fall and my 28th birthday, a season of change has begun in me. Mostly for the better. In a season where nature is settling down into hibernation, I feel like I’m coming alive again, in a sense.
I’m excited about the future. I’m looking forward to the adventure. I’m terrified of the unknown. I’m expectant of the blessings I know God has in store for me and my family. Maybe one day the journey I’ve been on the past few years will be something I can share about. But for now, it is something I will keep close.
My heart overflows and I’m feeling very blessed right now. With a husband who is beside me, loving me so much. With friends who are supportive, encouraging and wonderful. With a camera to finally capture all the beauty I see around me. With the opportunity to finally travel with my husband to the part of the world that holds my heart captive. I have a feeling that 28 is going to be a good year : )

It’s funny how so many people dread growing older, and yet with age comes experience, wisdom, insight, sudden shifts in perspective and, as you’re finding now, joy.
So happy for you, Erin. ~hugs~

what a sweet post.
i know the feeling of keeping it all close. it’s hard to detach one’s self from all that’s happening. i struggle with blogging in that respect. i have a lot on my mind but it’s not blog material.
where are you traveling to?
i’m behind here so i need to catch up.
