September 28: Writing Prompt #271-Ebb and Flow

Our blogs morph over time, as interests shift and life happens. Write a post for your blog — but three years in the future.

(THE FUTURE) Can’t believe we’ve been back in the states for 5 years now. Can’t believe this blog has been in existence for over 8 years. J Well, I’m still hanging in there, journaling my way through this thing we call life.  Still working as part of the daily grind, still discovering the wonders of the natural world here in the NW on the weekends, and still enjoying my boys and watching them grow into amazing young men.  Life, like my blog, hasn’t changed much over the past few years. The blog has moved since its beginning from the Marshall Islands to the NW United States, but my family, work, and the way I live my life are all basically the same, just happening in a different place at a different time.  I’m always trying to find new things to write about, new ways to write the same ‘ole things, and new inspiration for the road ahead of me.  Hopefully, my insights have become wiser, and I’ve grown in my abilities since I first started this blog, but either way, I continue to appreciate those of you who have hung in there with me, sharing the journey, word for word.   Just like the sea, this blog ebbs and flows with the seasons of our lives, but in the end, it moves on….never stopping to rest, simply to pause and reflect. That’s what this blog is all about…pausing and reflecting.  And no matter what season of life I am in or how this blog changes over the years, the purpose is the same as it always has been, to reflect, renew, and challenge us to be better than we already are and share those experiences, good and bad, with others in the most honest way possible.
