Well Hello, Stranger!

Stranger is right. I've been away from the blogosphere for quite some time- five months, in fact! Initially, I was experiencing computer problems, but once they were resolved, I found myself unmotivated and confused as to why I initially started Southern Sophisticate. I contemplated returning on several occasions prior to tonight, but after finally sitting down to write my first post, I realized the beginning of October is actually the perfect time to come back. You see, October is my birth month. What better time for a fresh start than a new (birth) year?
As I prepare to enter into my 27th year of life, (eeek that was hard to say!), I realize that my blog is more than something I do. Southern Sophisticate is part of who I am. Writing and sharing my experiences makes me feel complete. I am thankful for the blog friends I've made and the lessons I continually learn from reading your posts. I may have been a lackluster "poster," but one thing I didn't do was stop reading your blogs.

Thank y'all for reminding me why I'm here.

Southern Sophisticate is back!
