I just re-read my last blog entry which was at the turn of the new year. Whoa. What a loooooong six months its been. I wish I could say that everything I had envisioned for myself at the beginning of 2013 came true, but truth be told almost none of my personal wishes and hopes for the new year really took off. Its not that this year has been so horrible, there have definitely been worse, but I hit a little bit of a rut. And by rut I mean my own knee failed me. And not just once but twice. Its amazing how much one small part of your body can have such an effect on your whole being. I think that I was pretty positive before knee surgery number one. After all, I was in pain with the activities I was trying to take on- playing basketball, going out dancing, running. All impossibilities. I thought the recovery in January/February was fine, but I guess it never really healed and my real misery really took off in March/April. Surgery number two took place in mid-May and everything after that just felt different. Better. And now its the end of June and I'm reflecting on how hard these 6 months were and how happy I am that they are behind me.
So rather than looking back I'm going to look forward. In four days I leave on a pretty cool trek. I'm beginning in Berlin and ending in Dubrovnik. I plan to write along the way, so check back on the blog for updates.
And don't be a stranger!! Please write.
This is me, ready to go!
