"Listen-- are you breathing just a little and calling it life?"
-Mary Oliver
Sometimes I forget
I forget where I left my phone
I forget what time I am supposed to meet a friend for coffee
I forget to put deodorant on
I forget to make my bed
I forget to wear my wedding rings
I forget to switch the wash over
I forget that there might be traffic and consequently forget to leave a bit early
I forget who my fifth grade teacher was
I forget to wear sunscreen
I forget that it's not acceptable to pick wedgies in public, remember, and then do it anyhow
But worst of all, sometimes I forget to live...
It isn't as hard as it may appear at first, to live that is. Breathing has always been a simple task for me, as I assume it is for everyone who doesn't have asthma, but what exactly does it mean to live?
Our original plans for my husband and I to leave on a RTW trip in March 2014 have obviously come and gone. With everything that was going on in our lives I didn't have the heart to even look at TravelBlog. I felt like a failure. The funny thing about life is that it sometimes gets in the way of living. The great thing about life is, you have the ability to mold it into whatever you want... So, with our little life hiatus out of the way, our plans were pushed back and we are taking our second chance at launching on this adventure! March 2015 could not come quick enough. I have been waiting for this adventure for over 5 years!!

Good to see you back here!
Please don't see it as a failure, see it as a chance to be better prepared for March 2015. It will come around quicker than you think! :)
