Renewed Ambition

I began this blog one year ago, and initially I did well at my goal of posting nearly every day. However, a family tragedy in April, the death of our son Leif, not only took away my interest in writing this blog, but took away any time I had for it as well.

Instead, I began writing a blog about his life and death, and our feelings about them. I'm still writing Remembering Leif, and will continue it, but at last I am feeling more interest in other writing and life in general, so one of my New Year's resolutions is to begin writing again, here on Exconsulto, and also other writing for publication. I hope I will be able to stick with that.

There was so much to write about in 2008, the political scene, the economic disasters, and I had much to say, but that is now OBE, as they say in the military (overcome by events) and I am not going to look back.
