So for the last year I had a writer's block. I would get these great ideas and then I would sit to write and I couldn't flesh them out. Many of you follow my sister's blog as well, and she has done so much better expressing herself than I have over the past year. For me, I'm still in a fog half the time. Just now, writing the words "past year" is a revelation that it has been over a year. In fact, it's been almost a year since I took the most incredible vacation of my life to Scotland.
Tonight I sat and read the journal that I kept throughout the whole trip, and I was surprised by some of the things I wrote. sometimes I think it's a wonderful thing just to have that self-reflection. Obviously many of the things I was feeling made it's way onto the paper along with the play-by-play of what we did on the trip. So I've decided to share them with you. I'll give you that two-week sneak peak into my journal. The Reason I decided to do this is because we all deal with loss in a different way, and now that I'm a year removed (and going through it again real soon) I can see that how I dealt with everything started during these two weeks overseas. In order for me to tell you how I made it through the last year and I'm able to get on with life now, I couldn't do that without sharing my thoughts then.
So, for all of those that went to Scotland with me last year, it will be a great reflection on the trip, and hopefully bring back some great memories. For others, hopefully it will give you a look into what we did, but also allow you insight into how my mind works. Or it may not do any of that, and I'm just being self-reflective, but that works too.
I hope you enjoy!
Shane
