Alive and Well

   It would be a little unrealistic to say that things have been difficult for me here so far. I've been having a hard time emotionally, spiritually, and financially, but as I reach the half-way point of this year in New Zealand I only really know one thing; I whole-heartedly want to see this through. 

   Last night I had a little difficulty getting to sleep, but my body didn't seem to think I needed 8 hours anyway and I woke up at about 7 in the morning. For having 4 hours of sleep under my belt this morning, I feel especially motivated to finally get around to updating this poor neglected blog. I realize it's been a little irresponsible to neglect from keeping you all informed of my well-being, especially since many of you actually care about me. I have a bad habit of becoming with-drawn when things get hard. 

Suffice it to say, this is a post letting you all know that I am still alive and well. 

I am alive and well.

More details on that will come in the near future. And until then, peace and grace.
