2010: Officially a Blogger!

Life is very busy here in Cairo and things tend to happen so quickly that finding a moment to sit back and digest it all often feels next to impossible.  And despite earnest ambitions of journaling and blogging on my experiences, I’ve barely found the time to keep in touch with friends on e-mail since arriving 5 months ago.  Each week I say to myself “I’ll do better…”  but it just doesn’t seem to happen.  I even broke down and signed up on Facebook in an attempt to “stay connected,” but that too hasn’t helped.  So though it’s almost the end of January and it would’ve been nice to have started this blog upon arrival in Egypt, because of a puppy, today I’m officially becoming a blogger.  There are so many things I want to write about and share while the moments are still fresh.  And most of all, there are people whose thoughts and feedback I really miss hearing.  Hopefully this blog will motivate me to sit down and write about at least some of the crazy, beautiful, discombobulating, and inspiring daily moments here in Cairo, and that friends and family will on occasion feel inclined to respond.

Happy New Year!
