It’s been a while since my last post and a lot has changed. I have a new apartment, a new job, new friends. I’ve done so much hard work that I’ve barely had time to do something like write. But that’s not the only reason I stopped posting.

Over the past couple months I’ve started writing many times and on many different subjects. But I could never bring myself to devote the time needed to bring a post to completion.

Over and over again I became heart-sick while writing and began to doubt and challenge the very existence of this blog. I even thought about erasing the whole thing.

I created this blog to capture my RVing adventures with Yair and to share my life and finds with friends and family during times when I knew I would have limited connectivity. Well, now I am settled in Austin and connectivity is not an issue. But, tragically, I’ve had to let go of Yair completely and struggle with the persistent hope that we might remain friends. That incredible loss was not something I would have ever foreseen. And I’ve been grieving on many levels. So, returning here, a chronicle of our happy travels, has been emotional. And I haven’t been ready to put that emotion to pen until recently. I still don’t feel ready…how do I know how open to be about such personal issues on such a public platform?
