I made the announcement last week that I was back. It’s been a week and half since that announcement and this is my first post. I’ve been working on a post for the past week, but I have been unable to say what I really mean. The words aren’t coming. It’s not quite writer’s block as I’ve written plenty of words. I’m just at a loss for the words that actually say what I mean.

In part, the post was suppose to explain my absence as well as review some issues I’ve been pondering over the past few weeks. With some reluctance, I’m giving up on any detailed explanation and have boiled my thoughts down to three statements:

• Happiness is a choice
• My future is determined by the choices I make today
• I don’t need to know where I’m going—I just need a general direction

I wish that I could better elaborate on my journey and why these points have come to mean so much to me, but the words aren’t coming. So, I’m giving you the short and sweet version and hope that it might be of some use to someone.
