So once again there has been a lapse in my activity on this blog. I have managed to keep up writing in my own journal, and doing prompts in a little book I carry with me. I have not, however, made appropriate time for posts on here. I have had a lot of change recently. I am now living in Knoxville, TN, I am managing at a pastry and gelato cafe in the heart of downtown, and I am enjoying finally living in the same city as my beloved. This job is definitely different from what I was doing in NC, but in a good way, and I am learning a lot from it. I am also loving the abundance of coffee shops here that the area of NC I was at was rather lacking. Recently I have been doing a lot more cooking and baking, and that is one of the greatest ways I can relax and spend a day off. Rock climbing has also been another great habit I am doing my best to keep up, although I admit I don’t have a partner to go climb with, I am certain I will be able to make a friend soon who shares my passion for climbing. My girlfriend, myself, and some of her friends have also gone hiking in the Smoky’s a couple times now and it is really something else. Nothing can really compare to being among those peaks and looking over all that space. It is truly surreal. Well, I will do my best to post more soon, including a book review and some more poetry or fiction, too!
