As some have pointed out, my blog has taken on a rather stale aroma over the last month or so. The last few posts have not been overly positive, so a few of you, including several members of my family, have wondered if there was some "announcement" forthcoming. I can assure you that there is nothing (at least related to veganism) I have to announce. I do have some blogs in the works, but because of the endless travel schedule that I have been enduring with work, I've had little time to write anything meaningful. In all actuality, I've had little time to do much else besides travel, work, and sleep. There is, however, some minor relief in the near future, starting this very week.
This is the close of my 10th month of veganism, and suffice it to say its still about as hard now as it has been from the beginning. I am, however eating more than just PB&J's and pasta now though. I wont say i haven't evolved "culinarily", but mentally, I'm still at the PB&J phase. I wish it was as easy for me as it is for a lot of my vegan friends. It isn't. I'm not giving up on it just because it is hard, though. I'm trying to understand why it is so hard. I'll explore that in the posts that come. For now. thank you for your concern, but I'm OK, just a little ragged at the moment. And still vegan.
Brian! I missed your blogs. And, look, you posted this at exactly 11:11...maybe it's a very lucky post. Or maybe I'm deliriously tired. Either way, I'm glad you're back.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear it! That you're still vegan anyway, not that its hard. I feel ya though, I've had more failed dishes lately than anything, and it makes me want to resort to PB&J.
ReplyDeleteDon't let anyone make you think it is easy. It isn't. It just gets less hard. And, it is just worth it.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you were having such a a hard time, Brian. Anything any of us can do to help? (glad you're still vegan!)
ReplyDeleteHi Brian - I feel for you, traveling can really exacerbate an already (somewhat) challenging menu options... Hang in there - With spring/summer around the corner the world will awaken and delight in all the fruit/vegetable choices! Meanwhile, PB&J sustains me too! :)
ReplyDeletePhew! So glad you didn't blow it because of me and the cheap sushi. :-) You are more dedicated than you realize and that should help make it easier.
ReplyDeletethank you all for the comments. meg, i admit, it may have been somewhat planned, although i was thinking of you when i hit "send". jessica, i'd probably resort to pb&j's regardless of my mood :) lee/jl its been hard all along, and i will surely let you know when i need help. bea, thanks, the spring will indeed awaken a new me,.. i'm (almost) sure of it. michelle, i was planning on letting you eat all the fish anyway :)
ReplyDeletethanks for the comments, sometimes i need to test the support network to make sure it will be there when i fall. :) thanks for catching me!
