I look back to blogs I wrote years ago and I wonder what happened to me. I used to observe so many things in me and around me that I would think, "Oh! I have to blog about that!" But now, I go months and months and nothings hits me like that. I used to have many quirky thoughts and observations. Many were funny. Many were thought provoking. But now, it seems that my eye for those things has gone blind.
I wondered at this for a little while. Several years back my blogging took a turn. It stopped being fun posts, and it started to be about trying to grasp my God in the middle of my wife's difficult illness. I've deleted many of those blogs because each one was basically the same as the progress in life was so slow. Maybe going thru that trial changed how I see the world. Maybe its just age. I've definitely changed since I was in my twenties. I remember when I was in medical school, going to concerts was amazing. Now it honestly doesn't do much for me. They're fine, but not amazing. Meanwhile, getting up into the mountains used to be fun. Now, its one of the most profound things that happens to me every year!
