An Introduction… Of Sorts

Jumping back into the fray of the online world.

Once again.

For I think the third time in the last few years.

One would think that getting back into blogging would be like riding a bike, but it isn’t.

So. Why am I here?

I think about a lot of different things and I keep losing my notebooks. Or mixing up topics. I used to blog a long time ago–ancient history in the online world– about our lives as military newlyweds and building our family. It was fairly popular. I found it difficult to keep posting on increasingly personal situations and balancing the whole point of the blog- so I kind of just ghosted the entire community, before “ghosting” was actually a thing.


Anyway, I digress (full disclosure- I do that that often). “Why am I here?”, right.

Now that I am much older and we are newly retired from military life, I find myself wondering what I want to be when I grow up. Been reading and wondering what path I should go down. So why not just throw it all on the wall and see what sticks? Excerpts from the old blog may pop up here and there. I think it’d be interesting to see how I’ve progressed (or not). I study a bunch of different subjects as they interest me. I ask a lot of questions about life, my faith, my family, and the world at large.

I hate being objectively wrong, so I constantly reassess myself.

In that, I come across interesting sayings, quotes, opinions that I want to make note of but end up not.

I should probably note: I am very ADHD.

My intent here is stream of conscious. I’ll be pretty light on the editing.

I’ve named this little corner of the internet as “Bee Mill” because (rather unimaginatively) it is my home, and the “Contending Existence” part because all of these previously mentioned things have to do with learning and living. There are things we fight for and against and through to what will be real truth. I am not an expert in anything. Just another rando on the interwebz. The web addy: well its that not not BeeMill because the dot com was already taken apparently. Pretty straight-forward.
