a break...

It’s 6:04 am. I finished my coffee and could still use another one.

It’s been over a month since I last updated this blog. A MONTH!!!

I just typed a whole paragraph about my lack of blogging, but then deleted it. I’m realizing something weird… I’m still unable to blog. I don’t even know if I’m going to publish this.

Outside my window, everything is covered in white, with a hint of orange from the street light. I was hoping all the weather forecasts would turn out wrong, and that no snow would accumulate… but well, I guess there’s no point in lamenting now. I will just have to deal with the situation at hand. When oh when is Amman going to grow up and deal with snow in a mature way?? Why can’t we enjoy the sight of snow on the sides of the roads while being able to go about our lives unhindered?

Is that too much to ask? Have I become a boring grouchy adult??

I’ve been catching myself lately growing a bit more cynical, slightly jaded… less fascinated by Amman …

This scares me, and I need to do something about it.

A wise friend of mine wrote about the invincibility of time. Is time invincible? Maybe it’s not always about time…

It’s 6:40 am now… and I’ve come to a conclusion. I’m not back to blogging just yet. I’m taking a break. It could be weeks, or just a couple of days… I don’t know. I WILL be back though. Three years of my life are in this blog, and I’m not ready to call it quits.




I’m off to make more coffee, get a dose of news entertainment from the American election race, finish an article, and study the map of the world – trying not to get distracted by the overpowering wanderlust.
