Failure as a Blogger

I have tried to keep up with my never ending experiences, but it is difficult to provide a good blog with the amount of time i have in between trips. Set in my resolve to update my blog after my ten day break, I journaled EVERY DAY on my iTouch. I included funny stories, interesting tid bits, and all my feelings from every day. I even finished my Poland blog and wrote my Prague post. I was going to update it the day i got back so i would be all caught up.

However, I was robbed in Barcelona so my iTouch and all of my meories so carefully recorded are lost. Now this is no 'my dog ate my homework' excuse. I really was robbed. My passport is gone, and a lot of other material things i will get over quickly. All my work on my blog posts is lost now, and I am very sad. I tbrings me to a poem i once wrote about losing all my old journals of poetry:


Lost
Words and thoughts, all inspirations 
lost; ensuing frustrations 
cathartic hours, time well spent 
now in vain, for away they went 
words slipped away like drops of rain 
they left behind thin streaks of pain 
feelings that were in stone eternal 
etched into a worn out journal 
now scraped away by a mistake 
sanded down without a trace.

    Hello,

    So sorry to read about the incident with Taylor, I hope physically she isn't hurt. I tried to post a blog to let her know I was thinking about her and hoping she will be ok but I couldn't pick the right URL to leave my message. Pete's blog was easier. Let her know we are thinking of her and I hope getting a new passport won't be too hectic for her or the both of you. Say hi to everyone else.

    Love,

    Joanne
