I started this blog waaaay back in 2011, never realizing that my life would change so much. Early in 2011, I was diagnosed with a gastrointestinal disease that changed my world. I had to watch my traveling. I had to eventually retire from teaching. I take two different medicines just to be able to leave my house. And yet, I do get up every morning, I often head out into the world. I travel. I read. I write. And now, finally, I am getting back to the blog site that I wanted to start so long ago. Here’s to 2021…and blogging!
