I'm sort of in the middle of my "break-vation". That's the term, for those of you who don't know, that I'd attached to the week I've had off. It's actually more than half over but it feels like the middle.
Break-vation: A break from work that is not actually a vacation. On a break-vation one takes times to get done things that need to get done. Only requirement are some times of solitude. Inside. Outside. Upside. Downside. Rightside. Leftside. Wrongside too.
As you may imagine, Break-vation is not quite a normal vacation. There are no beaches involved. No mountains. Though I did get to swim for the frist time this summer. But this break-vation was necessary to slow down the insane pace of life I have managed to keep up and examine how things are working. Or more acurately how they aren't. I've been a little emotional. In particular today has been difficult. Hopefully things will look brighter in the morning.
Tomorrow and Wednesday I have "out of town" plans. For solitude. But on "break-vation" "out of town" is really open to interpretation. Pray for sun. I want to at least go outside.
Back in college, in 2004 when blogging was hardly even a thing yet, I was here. Blogging before blogging meant anything to anyone. You can look in the archives for my past writings, but it was much more like a journal in the past. When we started fundraising, I messed around with the idea of launching something new for this new phase of our journey but actually hated that idea. I am a sum of all of my life and so much of it is here already. So I'm keeping it here. At least for now.
My main focus these days is blogging about our newest journey into the bizarre and wonderful world of gestational surrogacy. Posts dated 2013 and forward will trend heavily toward that journey. I don't promise everything I write will be about though. There might be other things that sneak in occasionally.
Please come along our journey with us. As the saying goes, "The more, the merrier!"
