Beginning

How does one begin a blog?

How do you know what to write or where to start?

The beginning is so long ago that I can hardly remember it.

We became sojourners in 1990-the year we packed our little family into a U-haul truck (literally everything we owned and us too) and moved to Alabama.

It was a scary time but an adventurous time as well. And we have lived through much adventure through the years.

Packing up and setting up.

That has been our life, our reality for 2o years. Never getting too close and never letting ourselves get too involved. Most of the time.

Our existence.

It was fun some of the time and worse than awful at others. It was nice to leave when we weren't happy with things... or stuff... or people.

And gut wrenching when we were.

It's time for us to return to what we came from.

To go back home.

To rebuild relationships that were never broken...but neglected.

To be still for awhile.

To. stay. in. one. place. for.....for...

Maybe forever.

Our sojourn here is almost over. We have a few months left and then we will move into a whole new way of life.

It is true that there is security in what we know and we are scared.

And exhilarated. A little of both.

So that is the beginning of this blog.
