One of my usual internet routines is to visit Men-a-men: Dit ben ik! I’ve been reading Menno’s blog for years and enjoy a different perspective on events in the Netherlands.
When I heard about the volcano in Iceland, and the huge ash cloud causing problems in northern Europe, I wondered if Menno would mention it. He did blog about it and included some very nice photos.
2 years agoMy birthday was last week and it was odd for me. I planned on my usual quiet scene and that part worked out. I hadn’t planned on the emotional stress associated with internal and external events.
I found it difficult to get to sleep in the early hours of my birthday. Turning 49 wasn’t an issue but I was thinking about how different this bd was from my last. Last year I was recovering from emergency surgery and couldn’t sit to read or play computer games too long. The pain went away but the feeling of a slowed down life has stayed.
I was thinking about this and checked my email and found out one of my online friends had passed away. I found this hard and eventually found closure by writing a post in an old blog.
