A reflective pause

Last week, two days after Valentine’s Day, Stella swallowed a coin. It stayed lodged in her esophagus so it had to be removed surgically. Shortly after she was wheeled into the OR and I was left to wait for the outcome in the waiting room, having sent  my husband and oldest home to get some food and rest, I started writing – to distract myself, to pass time, to work through the worry and stress. I planned to share that post with you on this blog when I got home.

Later on, when everything was over, Stella was well again and we were back home, I went to type up the post I had written in the hospital and I realized I wasn’t sure I should share it here. All of a sudden I felt like it didn’t belong. Which is weird, because it was my post and this is my blog.

This spurred a few reflections, and the decision to take a couple of weeks to remember, or figure out, why I am doing this. That, and current demands in my life paired with this adventure seem to have drained me. Please bear with me, I’ll do my best to return soon!

Love

(Road) trippin’

So the time has come… for our summer road trip!

I will be gone for 2 weeks – in my absence, there should be still a couple of posts popping up (assuming the scheduling option on WordPress is now kink-free).

So far it looks like I won’t have Internet access in Spain, so I won’t be able to respond to comments or e-mail or visit other blogs, but I promise I’ll make up for that when I get back! And I’ll have lots of photos of our trip to share, too :-)

Have a lovely time, don’t do anything I woulnd’t do, and I’ll see you in two weeks!
