Gone into Hiding?



Helloooo to any of you still occasionally checking in on Australian Family Hendricks.  Where have I been?  What have I been doing?  Why so silent for so long? 

No big mystery really...I just needed a break from blogging.  It wasn't planned, it was unexpected and I think it might have been necessary to get the old creative juices flowing again.  I had found that I was waiting for the big events before blogging, the great pictures, the monumental moments.  You know what though?  Even as an expat, life isn't a series of big events, great pictures, monumental moments.  It's the grind, and the school run,  the day-to-day dramas, and the extra couple of kilos around my middle.

But you know what else, it's life and it's full and good and mine, and I am now re-inspired to direct this blog as a testimony to our daily life abroad, to it's joys and it's challenges, and to living in the moment rootless and stateless but embracing every minute of it.

So stay tuned and thanks for staying with me.

I seem to have taken the same unplanned break, so I totally get it. I'll blog if you will. ;-)

Welcome back...

There are big blogs and little blogs...and we internationals have so many huge things that we see and do, that we can forget how wonderful it is to find a flower and share it.

Or we get caught up in living...
