Wow.
The last
time I posted a new blog it was December 2013.
At the time, my older son was working at a university in Seoul,
celebrating his birthday a world away.
Tomorrow he
moves to Vancouver, starting a new chapter of his life. Clichéd phrasing, but
in a family of writers we forgive things like that.
When I
started thinking about how to approach writing a blog after so much time had
elapsed, I turned to Karin Tauscher Fuller. Not only is she a great friend, she
is an award-winning columnist.
Show them
what you’ve been up to, she wisely advised. Thanks to her I have photographic
evidence of my activities the last year or so.
In reality,
2014 was a rough year of holding on and holding on and not letting go. My mom,
and writing partner of 25 years, got seriously ill but has since recovered. The
last year was…challenging. And now I’m finally back in the saddle and ready to
start blogging again.
Many thanks
to Karin and the family and friends who didn’t ride off into the sunset when
the going got tough.
Happy
Trails to all of us.
