The Road Goes Ever On (Tolkein) The Long and Winding Road (The Beatles)



in 2015 I began writing a blog called "Just Around the Next Bend".  It was a way to chronical the changes that were happening in my life as I prepared to sell everything I owned (except for what would fit in a 10x10 foot storage unit, two suitcases and a backpack) and eventually move to France with my miniature poodle, CoCo. I was following my dream of living in SW France.
I continued writing every Sunday for the next two and a half years, sharing the ups and downs, the successes and mishaps of a new life.  I'm not a diarist, but this was a way to tell my stories and to share my life with my friends.
My plan for this new series of blog posts is to use the titles of the original blog posts, which I will reference, as inspiration for the present. How did I get from here to there and back again to Colorado? "The Long and Winding Road".
I will provide a link to the previous blog post in case you would like to read it as I make references of the old to bring me to the new. "The Road Goes Ever On."
This will begin the first Sunday in January - exactly 10 years from the first blog post I ever wrote! How could that have been 10 years ago? I hope you will find it entertaining and consider it worth your time to read.  I have missed writing and am looking forward to the challenge! Happy New Year!
