Changes (by David Bowie)

A lot has happened in my life in the last three months since my previous blog posting. I've moved, I left my job of almost three years, I started a new job at a familiar place, I'm going to be in another play, I began dating a beautiful and adventurous woman, I've become intentional about pursuing some level of involvement with photography, I'm heading back to school, and I've decided to lead a team of 15 people to my old home back on the far side of the world this summer ... just to name a few things.

Life changes have a way of being beautiful, exciting, terrifying, and confusing all at the same time. There's a certain peace and comfort in living paycheck to paycheck, job to job, even country to country. You wouldn't think that having routine and a healthy paycheck would be a scary thing, but we have a tendency to be afraid of what we don't understand. But change is good. It keeps us on our toes. It forces us to grow. It allows us to see the same world and the same life from completely different perspectives. To endure the growing pains that come with change is simply a fact of life that we need to endure (it's totally unintentional, but we should play a game and see how many 80s television shows I mention in this blog. It's already been two in this sentence alone!).

With all the new responsibilities that come with the changes my life is currently facing, I don't see how practical it will be to improve the frequency in which I update my blog page. However, my intentions are good and I will do my best to update more frequently and simply keep the postings shorter. What I need from you is encouragement and even some occasional nagging to stick to this and keep updating my life for you to read. I just need to know that anyone is still reading this thing!
