Seven Months Later...

So, here I sit seven months since my last blog entry. I suppose you could say after the death of my mother, I needed some time to grieve and process things. Or, I could say that life got in the way and that I have been too busy. Perhaps both are true. Nevertheless, here I am writing a new entry. It has been nearly eight months since my Mother passed away. Although time and prayer certainly make things a little easier to deal with everyday, I still miss her more than ever. It's ironic how it's the little things that pop up in your memory that mean the most to you. Those memories are the dark corners of your mind, known only to you until if and when you decide to share them. Sometimes I sit down with an idea to blog about and begin typing away. Other times I sit here and reflect, ponder, and consider if I in fact have anything to say. I feel that sometimes writers feel that they must write something profound with each sentence, however, I have discovered this couldn't be further from the truth. The fact is, people like to read honest and real thoughts, not something that is always profound and life changing.

I'm sure most of my friends feel that it is near impossible to get a hold of me these days. In recent months, I have gotten rid of Facebook and stopped drinking coffee. I also don't drink alcohol anymore, or even own a cell phone. The past several months I have felt more healthy, and liberated that I ever have. Due to this, I have also felt more inspired than I have in a long time. I have started writing songs again (I took a break from doing so), and have been eating, and thinking on a healthier level. In addition, I have also done a bit of traveling in recent months. I feel that it is healthy for the mind, body, and soul of an individual to travel. It is one of the best ways to refresh the soul.


So, as I mentioned at the beginning of this post, here I sit letting the words come from my thoughts instantly. I have missed writing in this blog. Since it has been so long, I'm not even sure anyone still reads this blog. But if you are, let me know how you have been.

Regards,

Nick
