Writer's Write, right?

When I started this blog (and, for the record, I REALLY don't care for the term blog, it's the sound a cat makes when vomiting fur and grass on the kitchen floor!), I had no real plan for when I would contribute my thoughts. It just seemed like a fun way to chronicle the process I was going through at the time. I was at the start of a very long personal journey that took me around the world and back, all in search of a good place to call home. I've already written about how ironic it was to find that what I was looking for turned out no to be a place at all, but rather a person. Building a life with Jenn has been, by far, the most rewarding experience of my life and although I am routinely overwhelmed by how grateful I am to have the life with her that I do, I rarely feel compelled to write about it.
So that should be it, right? Case closed, blog completed. My "odyssey" as I called it, took me literally around the globe and landed me right back where I started, albeit with a new perspective. Since that time, I've been largely unmotivated to write anymore, yet I still hear from friends and family asking when I'll start again. And, honestly, I have no idea when the motivation will return. I write best when I'm in completely new surroundings, being challenged to think and act outside of my normal comfort zone. Since things here in Pacific Grove have been nothing but absolutely comfortable for the last couple of years, I suppose that should explain my hiatus.
But, for anyone who hopes to read more, there is hope! It is my goal that, on April 8th of 2012, Jenn and I are going to sit down and plan a trip. I've had a SERIOUS case of the travel bug of late, and I'm really excited to think of travelling internationally with her. Here's a (short) list of some of the trips we're considering:
-Machu Picchu and Peru via the Inca Trail
-Eastern Canada
-Europe (including stays in Germany and Slovenia)
-Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam

With any hope, one of the side benefits of going on these adventures will be the return of my regular contributions to this site. We'll see...
