A Taste of Life (twice)

“We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospection”.

-Anais Nin

I feel like having this corner of the internet has enriched my life.

Enriched my soul, even.

When I decided to get a blog, I had no idea what I was going to write about. I knew I loved to write but I didn't know how often I would actually push the 'Publish Post' button.

224 posts later, I can honestly say that my life has changed because of it.

Before, I had zero hobbies.

Then I created this scrapbook of my life and what's a scrapbook without pictures? So I took up photography and fell in love with the art. Time passed, I read other blogs, and I started having more goals.

Run a half-marathon, bake more, find the joy in the small things in life.

It started happening. I was living my life so joyously, twice. Once in the moment and in retrospection.

Can I also say that my love for sharing our Savior has tripled? Most days I find myself typing a list of complaints that turns to guilt (because I am more blessed than I know how to articulate) that turns to thanking God for his incredible blessings.

And it seems we have come full circle because I am so thankful to God for the incredible blessing this blog and my precious followers have been in my life.

To all of us who write, who truly taste life twice, isn't life in retrospection sweet?
