A Fresh Start For Me Always Means Losing Something

I had been neglecting this blog because I was in the process of building up my other blog on living in the Seychelles. As is often the case with me, when I don't pay attention to something I lose interest. This blog is my first love though and I didn't want to just let it languish and die off. To revive my flagging interest I needed to do something new, so I decided I needed to implement a new design to get motivated again.

And it worked. My motivation is high again and I'm flooded with new ideas for articles.

Unfortunately, after spending a week looking for a new template and fiddling around with it, when I finally published it, I couldn't reinstall Haloscan. In other words, all the wonderful comments my readers had left (and they were often even more inspiring than the actual article!) got lost.

This is typical of every time I "rebirth" an aspect of my life. A sacrifice is required and then new things start flowing in. I often wish it didn't have to be like this, but it always seem to work that way for me.

I just have to believe the sacrifice was worth it...
